The two men from Shahnigar area of Drosh were found shot dead in the Kaldam Gol area where they had gone to collect firewood yesterday.
The same day, the locals blocked traffic by putting the two dead bodies on the road. They later dispersed after a district administration official assured them that the culprits would be arrested soon.
However, as the police made no headway in the case, the locals again blocked the road by holding a sit-in the Drosh bazaar. Traffic on the road remained blocked for about seven hours.
