A complete wheel-jam and shutter-down strike was observed in Baloch-dominated areas of Balochistan on Saturday against the alleged extra-judicial disappearances and recovery of bullet-riddled bodies of Baloch political activists and members of the civil society. The Baloch National Front (BNF) had given the strike call following a staggering hike in the number of incidents involving the dumping of mutilated bodies across the province. All street and trade centres were closed throughout the day, while transport remained suspended, paralysing life in the Baloch-dominated districts of the province. The strike was observed in Mastung, Kalat, Surab, Khuzdar, Hub, Turbat, Gwadar and other districts. It may be mentioned here that the body of a Baloch journalist, Abdul Razaq Baloch, was found in Karachi after he went missing some time ago. Read details in Daily Times
