The Balochistan Home and Tribal Affairs Department wrote a letter to the Foreign Office to contact the Portugal Embassy in Islamabad with regard to the death of the tourist. The dead body of the tourist would be handed over to the Portugal embassy.
Narrow roads and reckless driving claim precious human lives
The Portuguese tourist was on a journey of visiting 50 countries when the tragedy struck.
Narrow roads and reckless driving have claimed thousands of precious human lives across Balochistan. Such untoward incidents have almost become the order of the day on Quetta-Karachi, Zhob highway and other highways of the province.
