Chinese workers assault police in Pakistan

    Chinese workers assaulted police officers in Pakistan.

    Reports say the engineers, who have been contracted to work on a motorway between Bahawalpur and Faisalabad, attacked officers – who were allegedly deployed for the worker’s safety – because they were not to leave a camp unless supervised.

    The police claim the Chinese nationals wanted to leave the camp in Khanewal to visit a “red-light” area on Tuesday 3 April.

    On Wednesday the workers were reported to have halted operations and later began provocations against the officers.

    A meeting has been held with the protesting workers and a road block has now been allegedly opened.
