QUETTA: A shutter down strike was being observed in Quetta and several other parts of Balochistan province on Thursday on the occasion of the fourth death anniversary of Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti.

The strike was called by the Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) and the Balochistan Republican Party (BRP). A complete shut down was in place in the province’s Quetta, Mastung, Kalat, Khuzdar, Dalbandin, Noshki, Panjgor, Gwadar, Turbat and other areas.

Major markets were closed and no traffic could be seen on the roads and streets.

Highways were also blocked due to the strike and there was no land transportation between Balochistan and the rest of Pakistan.

Security measures were also high to tackle a possible law and order situation that might arise. — DawnNews
