QUETTA: Expressing concern over the abduction of senior officials from the Turbat district, Leader of Opposition in the Balochistan Assembly Maulana Abdul Wasay said on Friday that the government had miserably failed to improve the law and order in the province.

Talking to reporters, he said the situation had become alarming because even senior officials of the administration were not safe now. He said if the chief minister could not maintain law and order in his home district then how could he control the entire province?

Maulana Wasay said that earlier ordinary people were being kidnapped and their families looked towards the administration and law-enforcement agencies for their recovery but now officers and Levies personnel were themselves being abducted.

“Who should be approached to get them freed?” he asked.
