Published October 24, 2005

QUETTA, Oct 23: The government has decided to deal strictly with the elements disturbing peace in Gwadar and to establish new checkpoints of the Frontier Corps to improve the situation.

The decision was taken at a meeting presided over by Chief Secretary K.B. Rind in Gwadar, which was attended by security and administration officials.

The participants took decisions in the light of the attack on a vehicle carrying Chinese engineers on Oct 15 and incidents of kidnapping for ransom.

They reviewed the law and order situation in Gwadar and decided that police would be provided modern equipment and measures would be adopted to improve coordination between the law-enforcement agencies to stop entry of anti-social elements from other districts into the area.
