The government has put the security forces in Balochistan on high alert and closed educational institutions in the provincial capital Quetta. The government has reportedly collected intelligence that the next two days will be unpredictable in Balochistan and therefore the security forces have been put on high alert.
According to the details, academic institutions in Quetta were closed and the security forces have been put on high alert. The military cantonments in Quetta, Gwadar and other cities of Balochistan have been advised to keep a lookout for the next two days as the security situation will be unpredictable. The different units of the Pakistani forces and even the Air Force have been put on high alert till March 22. In Chaman and its adjacent areas, the security forces have been ordered to thoroughly check the vehicles going in and out of the city. Police forces will remain guard on the main highways throughout Balochistan and the FC will be alerted immediately in case of an emergency. The police are authorized to take action in case an emergency arises. The forces are also banned from patrolling for a week.
The government has not formally announced the high alert and therefore the strict security measures put in place are causing panic and confusion among the masses.
Academic institutions, including schools, will be closed for the next two days. University transportation has been directed to use alternate routes to reach their destination and avoid any main highways and roads in Quetta.
