Six Punjabi labourers shot dead in Balochistan

KHARAN - An incident of targeting labourers occurred in Kharan on Friday where at least six men were gunned down.

According to local media, unidentified attackers, who apparently want to impede development in Pakistan, opened fire on the labourers in the Laijay area in Kharan district of Balochistan.

The labourers — all hailing from Punjab — were working on a mobile tower when they were targeted, Levies officials said.

The assailants escaped unhurt from the spot after the attack, they added.

Moreover, Levies and personnel from other law enforcement agencies reached the site and launched an investigation into the incident soon thereafter.

Militants have repeatedly targeted labourers from Punjab and Sindh working in various parts of Balochistan.

Four Sindhi labourers working on the construction of a road were killed in April 2017  by suspected militants in Balochistan’s Kharan.
