The chief justice has sought report from the federal and provincial governments within three days to ascertain the estimated loss.Protests had erupted in several cities after the Supreme Court acquitted Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who had been sentenced to death on blasphemy charges, on October 31.Though the government and the protesters from different religious groups, led by Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), had reached an agreement yet the government, however, has decided to take action against miscreants involved in vandalism, torture and arson during the demonstrations. The law enforcement agencies had rounded up around 1800 individuals by Monday night.
