The history of Balochistan is marked by complex fabric of cultural prosperity and political unrest. For decades, the province has been struggling with separatist movements inspired by political autonomy, resource allocation and socio-economic margins.
The attacks of the rebel organization Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) have increased in recent times in Pakistan’s disturbed Balochistan province. The BLA is now presenting an open challenge to the Government of Pakistan. The Pakistani army also fails to stop the attacks of Baloch rebels. The government of Balochistan has banned traveling at night on several major national highways amid deteriorating law and order in the state. The Commissioners issued a notification banning the journey from 6 am to 6 am on the major national highways. The ban is applicable on many highways including Quetta-Taqtan Road, Lorlai-Dera Ghazi Khan Road, Sibi Road, Coastal Highway and Jhob-Dera Ismail Khan Road.
The history of Balochistan is marked by complex fabric of cultural prosperity and political unrest. For decades, the province has been struggling with separatist movements inspired by political autonomy, resource allocation and socio-economic margins. The BLA, which is at the forefront of these rebellions, has a notorious history to target security forces, infrastructure and citizens to carry forward its separatist agenda. The attack on the train Jafar Express carrying innocent citizens reflects a disturbing growth in their strategy, which aims to create fear and disrupt national unity.
