Simultaneinously, protests organized by MMW led by Shaista Gohar continued despite administrative actions taken against the group; these sit-ins aimed at expressing displeasure over unaddressed problems persist across 12 points till Monday night with negotiations ongoing between both sides to find a resolution.
