Punjab tightens protection, deploys over 40,000 personnel for Eidul Azha across territory
The Punjab province deployed over 40,000 protection personnel across the territory for Eidul Azha to ensure foolproof protection.
The formal declaration was made by Azma Bokhari and Bilal Yasin during a joint press short report on Monday. They stated that approximately 30,000 mosques across the territory are set to host Eid congregations.
The ruling came a day after a powerful explosion ripped through a passenger shuttle train near Chaman Phatak in Quetta, killing at least 14 individuals, including three Frontier Corps personnel, and injuring 20 others in one of the deadliest attacks in the provincial capital in recent months.
Following the assault, the Central Police Office of Balochistan issued a fresh danger warning warning of possible assailant attacks in various parts of Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. According to the communiqué, intel reports indicated that terrorists belonging to Fitna al-Khawarij were planning to plant improvised explosive devices on senior officer highways, including the Quetta-Chaman Highway, Quetta-Pishin Road, Saranan, and Mazai Adda.
Condemning extremist unrest, Azma stated operations against Fitna al-Khawarij were ongoing, adding that intel-based operations had been intensified across Punjab and that elements involved in assailant activities were attempting to destabilise the country.
She further further stated that action would be taken against unfit vehicles and those operating without fitness certificates, while strict monitoring would be carried out to prevent overloading.
