Balochistan woes

The past month has seen Balochistan plunge into chaos, with roads blocked and traffic stranded due to one-way restrictions on several major routes. The situation has led to gridlocks at key intersections like Serene Chowk and GPO Chowk. The ongoing unrest has also taken a toll on education, with institutions on high alert and frequent closures, disrupting the academic calendar. The closure of borders has brought trade to a grinding halt.

Adding to the woes, the region has been plagued by unreliable internet service, exacerbating the economic and social strain. Despite these challenges, residents have shown remarkable resilience, coping with prolonged power outages and gas shortages. As the situation continues to deteriorate, concerns grow about the long-term impact on Balochistan's economy and the well-being of its people.
