QUETTA (Dunya News) - Balochistan government sent bodies of martyrs of Quetta blast on the roof tops of wagons instead of ambulances on Tuesday.
Bodies of martyrs were sent to different districts of Balochistan, wrapped up in Pakistani flag but on the top of wagons as government officials said that they could not be sent in ambulances due to poor road conditions.
About 34 bodies were also taken to Turbat, Gwadar and Panjgur on C-130 jet.
On the other hand, a shutter-down strike was observed in Quetta and other cities and towns of Balochistan in protest against Tuesday’s terrorist attack at a police academy that killed 61 people, most of them police cadets.
Quetta wore a deserted and gloomy look as shops, business centres, and educational institutes remained closed. Flags are flying at half-mast at the government buildings as a sign of respect and mourning.
A day of mourning is also being observed in Punjab, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, whereas, Gilgit-Baltistan has announced two days of mourning.
The attack on the Police Training College, around 20 kilometres (12 miles) east of the provincial capital Quetta, began around 11:10 pm (1810 GMT) on Monday, with gunfire continuing to ring out at the site for several hours.
Three masked gunmen burst into the sprawling academy in the southwest, pretending to be soldiers as they targeted sleeping quarters home to some 700 recruits, in a strike that sent terrified young men fleeing.
