QUETTA: Following a series of terrorist attacks in Quetta and other cities of Balochistan, security across Quetta has been placed on high alert, with authorities sealing all routes leading to the Red Zone.
According to police officials, containers and trucks have been positioned on roads leading to sensitive areas to restrict movement. Law enforcement agencies have intensified patrols throughout the city, while police and security personnel remain on high alert at all entry and exit points to maintain law and order.
The Balochistan Home Department confirmed that Section 144 has been imposed across the province as a precautionary measure.
Meanwhile, mobile internet services remain suspended for the third consecutive day in Quetta and several other parts of Balochistan.
The continued shutdown has caused significant inconvenience to residents, particularly journalists and members of the media community, who rely heavily on internet connectivity for their work. Internet services were initially suspended in response to the recent security incidents.
In addition, railway operations remain disrupted. Railway authorities stated that Jaffar Express, Bolan Mail, and Chaman Passenger trains have been suspended for the third day due to security concerns.
Officials said the decision was taken in view of recent incidents and ongoing safety measures.
