Court approves bail of Baloch protestors
In a distressing incident, Quetta city faced a series of three explosions in different locations, resulting in 15 individuals sustaining injuries. The explosions were attributed to gas pipeline leakages in Eastern Bypass, Nawan Kali, and Kuchlak. The victims, including mostly children, were immediately attended to by rescue teams and transported to Civil Hospital for urgent medical care.
Rescue sources indicated that the injured individuals are currently receiving treatment in the burn ward, underscoring the severity of the incidents. The rapid response of rescue teams and medical professionals played a crucial role in mitigating the impact of the tragic event.
This unfortunate occurrence follows a similar incident in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Iqbal area last week, where three individuals were injured in an alleged gas pipeline explosion. The blast, reportedly caused by drug addicts lighting a fire to smoke drugs under the Nipa Bridge, prompted swift action from rescue officials.
The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) confirmed the nature of the explosion, detailing that drug addicts were responsible for igniting the gas pipeline. Fortunately, no critical injuries were reported, although the blast led to the collapse of the KMC workshop’s wall.
In both instances, the efficiency of rescue operations and the prompt provision of medical care have played a crucial role in alleviating the impact of these tragic incidents. The dedicated efforts of rescue teams and medical professionals underline their commitment to preserving lives and minimizing the consequences of unforeseen events.
As investigations continue into the causes of the gas pipeline explosions, communities in Quetta and Karachi are reminded of the importance of vigilance and safety measures to prevent such incidents in the future. Authorities are expected to conduct thorough inquiries to enhance safety protocols and ensure the well-being of residents in these areas.
