During the meeting, the Inspector General of Police, Balochistan, gave a detailed briefing on the Sardhaka tragedy, where nine passengers were brutally kidnapped and murdered.
Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti issued strict instructions to law enforcement agencies, directing them to ensure that the terrorists involved are brought to justice. He stated firmly that those responsible for the loss of innocent lives in Balochistan deserve no leniency.
“The pursuit of these terrorists will continue until the very end. Decisive and immediate action will be taken without delay. No compromise will be made on law enforcement in Balochistan,” CM Bugti said.
He made it clear that security agencies must act beyond the usual limits of Levies and Police jurisdictions if required. He also instructed officials to improve the response mechanism for dealing with such terrorist incidents effectively.
