THE situation in Quetta is serious and its bazaar area is not safe from terrorists. Recent shootings at Masjid Road and the blast near the Liaquat Park left dozens of people dead and injured. It seems Quetta has become a bandit territory.

The attack on FC personnel claimed the life of a young doctor, who was a student of the BMC, Quetta.

There is panic among students because most educational institutions are located in the city’s bazaar area.
