Families stage sit-in after 21 policemen killed in Ziarat

Pakistani authorities have handed over the bodies of 21 police personnel who lost their lives in the recent terrorist attack in Balochistan’s Ziarat district to their grieving families after completing the required legal formalities.

The bodies were brought to the Civil Hospital on Wednesday night, where officials carried out identification procedures and other necessary documentation before releasing them to the victims’ relatives.

Following the handover, the families of eight of the slain policemen staged a sit-in near the Coal Phatak area, demanding justice and expressing deep anger over the tragic incident.

The policemen’s bodies were discovered a day earlier near the Mangi area of Ziarat, sending shockwaves across the province. Authorities have launched an investigation into the attack and are working to identify and apprehend those responsible.

The deadly incident has once again raised serious concerns about the security situation in Balochistan, where security forces continue to face attacks from militant groups. Officials have vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice, while condolences continue to pour in for the families of the fallen officers.
