QUETTA, Feb 23: A gas pipeline between Pir Koh and Dera Bugti was blown up on Thursday morning. There was no gas in the pipeline as supply through it has been temporarily suspended.

When contacted, Dera Bugti DCO Abdul Samad Lasi confirmed the incident and said that terrorists had now resorted to destroying infrastructure in and around Dera Bugti town.

He said calm prevailed in the Sui area where bazaars were reopening and Kalpars and other tribesmen were returning.—PPI
