CHAGAI: Member of the provincial assembly from Chagai Mir Mohammad Arif Mohammad Hasni has said that his constituency has been witnessing the law and order situation for last several months as the administration appears to be unable to control this situation.

He was talking to journalists after visiting Prince Fahad Hospital in Dalbandin, where a driver was being treated for bullet wounds that he sustained during a robbery attempt near the Pak-Iran border area. He was later referred to a hospital in Quetta for further treatment.

Mr Hasni said people were complaining about robberies on a daily basis and the local administration’s incapability of arresting the robbers. “I have informed the Balochistan chief minister and chief secretary about the prevailing law and order situation in Chagai and urged them to take necessary measures to protect the lives and property of the masses.”

Mr Hasni demanded immediate arrest of the robbers looting shopkeepers and transporters on a regular basis.
