Stake attention in this memory
A group of elderly men, mostly with white beards and wearing traditional South Asian attire such as shalwar kameez, turbans, and prayer caps, are seated closely on red and patterned carpets. The scene is outdoors under bright sunlight. A large bamboo pole is visible horizontally across the upper part of the image, suggesting a temporary structure or canopy. The men appear solemn; some look directly at the camera, while others look elsewhere. Two prominent white banners with text in Urdu (or a similar script) are visible, indicating that this is a formal gathering or protest. The text details grievances and demands related to the Levies force, a local security and tribal police unit in Balochistan, Pakistan. Key points include: * Criticism of ministers and officials for their inaction regarding the Levies force. * Concerns about employees reaching 60 years of age without proper benefits or "golden handshakes." * Demands for the release of salaries and pensions. * Reference to an unfulfilled committee decision from May 5, 2025, reportedly passed by Parliament, which has not resulted in an official order, impacting Levies employees' pay and recruitment. * Allegations of political leaders and ministers failing to address these issues or debate them in the assembly. * Questions about the legality of firing a Deputy Commissioner without proper benefits. * Demands for the restoration of the old Levies system and fair recruitment practices, opposing nepotism. * A declaration that the protest will continue until their demands are met or they die. The setting appears to be a community gathering or sit-in, likely in Quetta, Pakistan, where these men are collectively expressing their dissatisfaction with government policies and seeking justice for their rights, particularly concerning the Levies force.
