GWADAR: The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has ended its sit-in in the Gwadar district following successful negotiations with the government.
The decision to call off the sit-in came after Dr. Mahrang Baloch, representing the protesters, and the Gwadar district’s deputy commissioner signed an agreement.
According to a statement from the Balochistan Home Ministry, the agreement has led to the restoration of internet services in the region. The ministry also pledged to reopen all roads for traffic and remove obstacles.
The deputy commissioner confirmed that those arrested during the protest would be released once the demonstrators dispersed peacefully.
The sit-in started after protesters were blocked from attending the BYC’s meeting in Gwadar, which led to convoys being disrupted and 14 people injured in Mastung.
The closure of major roads, including the National Highway and Makran Coastal Highway M8, had caused severe traffic disruptions affecting both commuters and cargo trucks. The primary demand of the protesters was the recovery of missing persons.
