QUETTA: Militant attacks, road blockades, and security threats in Balochistan have badly affected the daily lives of ordinary people.
The closure of highways often stops fuel supply to petrol pumps, creating severe shortages and making transportation difficult.
Markets and shops remain shut for days, while the supply of groceries, vegetables, milk, and meat is suspended, causing inflation and creating famine-like conditions in some areas.
Small businesses suffer heavily, and daily wage workers face the greatest hardships as their source of income comes to a halt.
The closure of hospitals and the absence of medical staff also create a serious crisis for patients.
People injured in accidents or suffering from emergencies often fail to receive treatment on time, leading to loss of lives.
Pregnant women, elderly citizens, and children face the most difficulties during such situations.
People believe that only sustainable peace can restore normal life in Balochistan, as peace would reopen markets, revive businesses, strengthen health and education services, and allow citizens to live without fear.
