Surab Balochistan Attack: Martyrdom of Official Amidst Terrorist Assault
The attack on Surab Bazaar has raised concerns about the security situation in Balochistan, with the provincial government and security forces working to neutralise the threat and bring those responsible to justice. The martyrdom of Additional Deputy Commissioner Hidayatullah Buledi has been widely condemned, and the nation remains committed to combating terrorism and ensuring the security of its citizens.
A senior Balochistan official, Additional Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) Hidayat Baloch Buledi, was martyred while resisting a terrorist attack on Surab Bazaar in Balochistan, as a group of heavily armed terrorists launched a coordinated assault on a local bank and residences of senior government officials.
The attack, which is believed to be part of a broader attempt to undermine security in the region, has been condemned by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief Minister Balochistan Sarfraz Bugti. The provincial government has accused Indian intelligence of backing the terrorists, and security forces have launched a joint clearance operation to neutralise the threat and secure the city.
The martyred official, Hidayatullah Buledi, stood his ground to protect others, sacrificing his life in the line of duty. The attack also targeted a bank and several government officials' homes, with women and children present at the residence during the attack. The Balochistan government spokesperson termed the incident a "nefarious attempt to challenge the writ of the state" and accused Indian-sponsored proxies of being behind the attack.
The security situation in Balochistan has worsened in recent months, with militants increasing the frequency and intensity of their attacks. The incident comes after the ISPR director general accused India of activating its "assets" to intensify terrorist attacks in Pakistan. A search operation is underway, and geo-fencing is being used to track down the attackers.
The government has vowed to track down and bring to justice those responsible for the attack, and the Prime Minister has reiterated the government's commitment to eradicating terrorism. The people of Pakistan stand in solidarity with the bereaved family of the martyred official, and the nation remains committed to combating terrorism and ensuring the security of its citizens.
