The increasing electoral violence and threats from Taliban have led teachers in various districts of Balochistan to refuse to carry out their duties during elections, local media reported on Saturday.
While confirming the stance, sources of Government Teachers Association told that the decision was taken after Taliban issued threats to carry out terrorism acts in different districts of Balochistan during the upcoming polls.
The districts where the teachers have refused to discharge their duties include Turbat, Khuzdar, Kallat, Chaghi, Kharan, Gwadar, Panjgur, Mastung and others.
The instructors are of the view that they have concerns regarding their duties during general elections on May 11. Therefore, the caretaker chief minister, chief secretary and Election Commission have been informed in writing about their stance.
