Transporters strike shuts down highways and schools across

Quetta: A province-wide wheel-jam strike is being observed in Balochistan on Monday to protest the non-recovery of a 10-year-old boy, Musawir, who was abducted from a school van in Quetta several days ago. The strike, called by the victim’s family, political parties, teachers’ organizations, and transporters, has brought daily life to a standstill in many areas.

Major highways, including the N-25 Quetta-Chaman National Highway at Khanozai, Muslim Bagh, and Qila Saifullah, and the N-70 Highway at Loralai Mukhtar and Rara Hashim, have been blocked. The Quetta-Karachi National Highway has also been closed, and train services on the Quetta-Chaman section are suspended.

In addition, educational institutions in cities such as Chaman, Kohlu, and Khuzdar have been closed, with exams scheduled for the day canceled. Authorities have reported no progress in locating the abducted child, whose disappearance has sparked widespread outrage and demands for urgent action.

The kidnapping of Musawar Kakar has sparked widespread concern, and the Supreme Court’s constitutional bench has taken notice of the case, summoning all IGs and the Home Secretary to discuss the issue of child kidnapping.

Leaders of various organizations in Balochistan have expressed gratitude to transporters and unions for their support in the successful wheel-jam strike. The strike was held to demand the safe recovery of Musawar Khan Kakar, a kidnapped child.

The leaders praised the transporters and the people of Balochistan for their solidarity in the ongoing struggle. They criticized the provincial government for its negligence and indifference in taking action against the kidnappers.

The sit-in committee has warned that if the government fails to ensure Kakar’s safe recovery, they will be forced to expand the protest and take stricter measures. For more information on this ongoing situation, you may want to try searching online for updates. Staff Report
