Additional Inspector General Khadim Hussain Rind has issued orders to put security on high alert across Karachi in view of the recent incidents of terrorism reported in Balochistan.
He directed that the security arrangements outside mosques, madrassahs and other sensitive locations should be tightened.
Earlier in the day, a person was killed in a blast at Quetta’s CPEC road. According to the police, around eight to 10 kilogrammes of explosives were used in the blast.
The incident is the most recent in a string of terror attacks witnessed in recent days, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, as the country heads to general elections. The Election Commission of Pakistan has called a high-level meeting today to discuss the law and order situation in the provinces.
