QUETTA, Jul 06 (APP):The Balochistan government, in a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti, has decided to launch an immediate sanitization operation in Hanna Urak and adjoining areas to eliminate terrorists and their facilitators.
The meeting, attended by Provincial Home Minister Mir Ziaullah Langove, cabinet members, senior civil and military officials, and representatives of law enforcement agencies, reviewed the province’s overall law and order situation with particular focus on Hanna Urak. Officials provided a detailed briefing on the recent tragic incident and the broader security environment.
Several key measures were approved to restore peace. CM Bugti directed indiscriminate action against all those involved in terrorism, stressing that operations must continue until perpetrators are brought to justice. He firmly stated that the writ of the state would not be compromised under any circumstances.
To strengthen security, the meeting also approved the activation of a joint check post where all law enforcement agencies will work together to monitor terrorist movements and ensure a safe environment for citizens.
Expressing condolences to the families of those martyred in the Hanna Urak tragedy, the Chief Minister instructed that financial assistance and official compensation be provided within two days to support affected families.
The meeting also addressed the concerns of peaceful protesters. CM Bugti emphasized that peaceful protest is a constitutional and democratic right, and the government is committed to addressing legitimate demands. A high-level committee led by Home Minister Mir Ziaullah Langove and Provincial Minister Bakht Muhammad Kakar has been formed to engage with protesters, tribal elders, elected representatives, civil society, and other stakeholders to find a sustainable solution through dialogue.
Paying tribute to the bravery and patriotism of Hanna Urak’s people, CM Bugti said their courage in confronting terrorist elements reflects Balochistan’s proud tribal traditions and loyalty to the homeland. He stressed that terrorism is not confined to one area, tribe, or community, but is a collective challenge for Balochistan and Pakistan, requiring national unity, cooperation, and a joint strategy.
Reaffirming his government’s commitment, CM Bugti declared that protecting the lives and property of citizens remains the top priority. He vowed that all available resources would be utilized to eradicate terrorism, establish lasting peace, uphold the writ of the state, and provide relief to affected communities until the menace is rooted out completely.
