Amid the ongoing security operation in Bolan, Balochistan, the departure of Jaffar Express has been suspended for three days due to security concerns. The rescue operation to recover hostages from terrorists is still underway.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to security sources, 155 passengers have been safely rescued so far, while 27 terrorists have been killed during the operation. Reports indicate that suicide bombers are among the militants, and some innocent hostages have been forced to sit with them as human shields. The terrorists, equipped with suicide vests, are using civilians to deter security forces, leading to a cautious approach in the rescue mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The railway administration has confirmed that the train service was suspended due to security reasons, and the departure of Jaffar Express will remain canceled for three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi remains in constant contact with Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti. The Interior Minister has expressed complete solidarity with the Balochistan government, assuring full support in combating terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to eliminating terrorism by utilizing all necessary resources. Mohsin Naqvi emphasized that the federal government will continue to support Balochistan in restoring peace. “Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti is a courageous leader, and together, we will eradicate terrorists and their facilitators,” he stated, vowing to go to any extent to eliminate terrorism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
