TAFTAN, BALOCHISTAN: In the border town of Taftan, Balochistan, hundreds of LPG Bozzer trucks have been stuck on highways due to ongoing security threats and continuous attacks. This situation has caused a significant shortage of LPG in Punjab and other major cities across Pakistan, impacting factory production and leading to rising fuel prices in affected areas.
Authorities have decided to take action by deploying the Pakistan Army to provide security escorts for these stranded trucks. Starting tomorrow, approximately 400 Bozzer trucks will be escorted from Taftan to Quetta and then further into other regions. Security clearances have been issued for the convoys, and truck owners have been instructed to prepare all necessary documentation to facilitate smooth movement.
Meanwhile, Baloch separatist groups have issued stern warnings to mineral and Bozzer truck owners against exploiting Balochistan’s natural resources. They urge all transport owners, drivers, and the general public to dissociate from what they describe as an exploitative colonial system. The groups emphasize avoiding participation in fuel deliveries, supplies, or logistics for exploitative companies.
The separatists also caution civilians to avoid traveling near military convoys, occupying forces, and vehicles involved in extractive projects for their safety. They state that their struggle is aimed at achieving full autonomy, national dignity, and unconditional freedom for the Baloch nation. Until foreign control, plunder, and colonial oppression of Baloch land end, they vow to continue their economic blockade and armed resistance with full intensity.
This development marks a critical step in addressing the LPG supply crisis while highlighting the ongoing security challenges and political tensions in Balochistan.
