QUETTA: A high-level security meeting was held at the Balochistan Constabulary Headquarters in Quetta to review the current security situation in the province.
The meeting was chaired by the Acting Commandant, DIGP Shad Ibn Masih, and attended by senior officers and personnel. The DIGP directed all zonal commanders to enhance security arrangements in their respective areas and submit updated reports based on the current conditions.
A key focus of the directives was on improving police conduct with the public. Officers were instructed to avoid using unnecessary force during patrols and to instead adopt a polite and professional attitude. The Acting Commandant emphasized that gaining public trust is a fundamental duty of the police, and officials should work to foster good relations and a sense of security among citizens.
Further instructions included the strict implementation of the Inspector General of Police’s standard operating procedures and taking steps for the welfare of subordinate personnel. A specific order was given to ensure that no personnel is assigned duty for more than eight consecutive hours.
The BLA, unable to withstand the operational strength of security forces, has increasingly turned its aggression towards unarmed and defenseless individuals, including government officials.
In this regard, the several innocent individuals lost their lives or sustained injuries in what officials described as a cowardly terrorist act.
In addition, the victims included public servants and civilians who were performing their routine duties.
“This tragic event mentions once again that the BLA is not a representative of the Baloch people but an enemy of peace in the region,” said a senior official speaking on condition of anonymity. “Those who target innocent Baloch citizens cannot claim to fight for their rights.”
Furthermore, the citizens and tribal elders across Balochistan have also expressed grief and anger over the targeting of their own people, demanding that such groups be held accountable for their crimes.
In this sense, the attack has prompted renewed calls for unity among the people of Balochistan to stand against extremist violence and to support ongoing efforts for peace, development, and stability in the province.
On the other hand, there are certain social media accounts that are spreading misleading and misinformation campaign regarding the attack on military cantonment of Sibi.
