Balochistan CM Visits Families of Martyred Police Officers, Pledges Justice and Support

Quetta: Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti visited the families of police officers martyred in the terrorist attacks that occurred in Quetta on January 31, expressing deep condolences and solidarity with the bereaved families.

During the visit, the Chief Minister met with the children of the martyrs, describing them as not just members of a single family but the bright future and hope of the entire nation. He assured the families that the Balochistan government would not leave them unsupported, emphasizing that their welfare is a primary responsibility of the state.

Under the current compensation policy, the families of martyred officers will receive immediate financial assistance along with two government jobs—one in the police department and another in a different government department. All appointment orders are to be issued within a week. The government will also bear all educational expenses for the martyrs’ children to ensure they can continue their studies without fear or hindrance.

Honoring the sacrifice of ASI Mahmood-ur-Rehman, the Chief Minister announced that the Sariab police station will be named after him. Additionally, the police department will provide PKR 5.5 million for housing and other essential needs of the martyrs’ families, with further resources made available as required.

Addressing the families, Mir Sarfraz Bugti said, “The people of Balochistan owe a debt to the blood of our martyrs. We will never abandon their families or our veterans.” He warned that terrorist elements, particularly supported by India, are attempting to destabilize Pakistan and Balochistan, but such conspiracies will fail.

The Chief Minister stressed that complete, transparent, and professional investigations into the recent terrorist incidents are underway, with investigative teams working round the clock. He assured that all terrorists and their facilitators involved will be brought to justice.

Mir Sarfraz Bugti reaffirmed the provincial government’s strong capacity to combat terrorism and vowed that state enemies will face their logical end.
