QUETTA, June 16: Top security officials of law-enforcement agencies are likely to arrive in Quetta from Islamabad on Sunday to review the law and order situation and also the steps taken by the provincial administration in the aftermath of Thursday’s killing of at least seven soldiers, sources said.
The sources said that President Gen Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz had taken a serious note of the Quetta killing and asked the provincial government to take strict measures to ensure that such incidents do not recur.
They said the administration had decided to set up 20 check posts at different points. “The check posts are being established in and around Quetta, including Satellite Town, Jinnah Town, Killi Ismail, Hudda, Sabzal Road to keep an eye on suspects,” a senior police official told Dawn.
The sources said the Anti-Terrorist Force had been ordered to carry out patrolling in sensitive areas round the clock.
