The Balochistan government sent bodies of martyrs of Quetta blast on the rooftops of wagons instead of ambulances.

Bodies of martyrs were sent to different districts of Balochistan, wrapped up in the Pakistani flag but on the top of wagons instead of ambulances due to poor road conditions, according to government officials.

About 34 bodies were also taken to Turbat, Gwadar and Panjgur on C-130 jet.

On the other hand, a shutter-down strike was observed in Quetta and other cities and towns of Balochistan in protest against Tuesday’s terrorist attack at a police academy that killed 61 people, most of them police cadets.

Quetta wore a deserted and gloomy look as shops, business centres, and educational institutes remained closed. Flags are flying at half-mast at the government buildings as a sign of respect and mourning.

A day of mourning is also being observed in Punjab, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, whereas, Gilgit-Baltistan has announced two days of mourning.
