Several people were injured and around a dozen were detained during a protest by local government workers in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar.
Police fired tear gas at the protesters after they broke through barricades to enter the high-security zone.
The demonstrators were protesting the withholding of funds from local governments and denying them the authority to carry out development activities.
