Activists of Shiv Sena today staged a protest against Pakistan observing "black day" over the unrest in Kashmir following the killing of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani and blocked traffic on NH1 here for about two hours, prompting authorities to divert Delhi-Lahore buses.
Authorities diverted the route of Delhi-Lahore buses in the wake of the protest, police said.
The Delhi-bound Sada-e-Sarhad bus from Lahore was diverted via Kartarpur, Kapurthala, Nakodar, Noormahal, Phillaur onto the NH 1.
Led by Sena's state Vice-President Inderjit Karwal, the protesters staged demonstrations at three places, including the Sugar mill crossing and near the PWD Rest House.
They also took a march in the city, raised slogans against Pakistan and burnt its national flag.
