MULTAN:  – Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfaraz Bugti visited Shujaabad Tehsil in Multan on Thursday to distribute relief checks totaling PKR 1.515 million to the families of seven martyrs of the recent Panjgur incident.

In a solemn meeting, he conveyed his condolences to the families and assured them that those responsible for this heinous act of terrorism would face justice. He also announced that the Balochistan government would cover the education expenses for the martyrs’ 16 children.

Speaking to the media, CM Bugti condemned the incident, stressing that “terrorists, not Baloch, carried out this act to fuel hatred among provinces.” He clarified that some terrorists linked to the attack have been apprehended, while efforts to bring all responsible to justice continue.

Promising a secure and peaceful Balochistan, he reassured the public that his government remains committed to eradicating terrorism. Accompanying him were prominent officials, including Provincial Minister Mir Saleem Khosa, Leader of the Opposition Mir Younis Aziz Zehri, and Chief Secretary Balochistan Shakeel Qadir Khan.
