ISLAMABAD: (Mar 30) The government in Pakistan’s Balochistan province has banned night-time travel across several key national highways amid a worsening law and order situation in the area where multiple terrorist attacks occurred on vehicles in recent weeks.
The volatile province faced several targeted attacks on vehicles when gunmen stopped the traffic on highways and killed passengers after checking their identities. The ethnic Punjabis have been the target of such attacks.
District commissioners of Kachhi, Zhob, Gwadar, Nushki and Musakhail districts issued a notification on Friday to prohibit travel on key national highways from 6 pm to 6 am. PTI
