QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfaraz Bugti has announced the launch of a dedicated Pink Bus Service for women and female students in the province.
In a post on the social media platform X, the Chief Minister stated the service aims to provide a safe and dignified daily commute for women. He emphasized that it is the government’s priority to continue the Pink Bus Service on a permanent basis.
The initiative marks a significant step towards improving women’s mobility and access to education and employment in Balochistan.
Meanwhile in a grisly discovery, rescue officials recovered the bodies of four individuals, including two women and a boy, from a manhole in the city’s Mochko area near My Kulachi on Friday. The incident has sparked a major police investigation and top-level political outcry.
According to a rescue department spokesperson, the operation began after a citizen reported spotting a human organ in the sewer. Upon arrival and after retrieving the first body, rescuers unearthed three more. All four severely decomposed bodies, estimated to be around 15 days old, were shifted to a nearby hospital for medico-legal formalities.
Police officials confirmed an active investigation is underway. “The bodies are in a disfigured state, making immediate identification impossible,” a senior police officer said. “Our forensic teams are at the crime scene, which initial reports suggest showed signs of dry blood clots. We are also collecting all available CCTV footage from the surrounding area.”
The District Inspector General (DIG) of South stated that conclusions would be drawn after post-mortem reports are received, emphasizing a coordinated investigation.
