Others were seen enjoying a football play as they pass the ball among themselves along the streets with others watching from a distance.
At the Agah Khan roundabout, already people were converging as they sang while producing different sounds, others hitting sufurias while those on motorcycles racing and loud horns.
"What we are doing now is warm up before we can start the protest," one of the protestors said.
Police officers were also on standby within Lakeside city as others were seen patrolling and moving around in their vehicles along the CBD.
