QUETTA, Aug 21: The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) personnel arrested three African nationals and seized 38kg heroin on Saturday.

Sources said that acting on a tip-off the ANF personnel raided the Quetta bus-stand and arrested three Africans from a Taftan-bound coach. The raiding team also seized the heroin concealed in cosmetics packing and milk powder cans.

POWER SUPPLY SUSPENDED: Electricity supply from Iran to Panjgur, Turbat, Pasni, Jewani and other coastal areas of Makran was suspended on Friday night due to a technical fault.

The spokesman said electricity supply to Turbat and Panjgur had been restored on Saturday afternoon.

Jewani was provided electricity through a small diesel powerhouse, the spokesman said.
