Amidst the deteriorating law and order situation, security failures and serious questions over the established state control across Balochistan, incidents of capture of a key military installation on one hand and disappearance of a senior judicial official on the other have come to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Armed men attacked and captured the building at the airport located in Ghazaband area of \u200b\u200bQila Abdullah district and caused severe damage to the communication equipment and security infrastructure there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the picture that went viral on social media, thick black smoke can be seen coming out of the upper part and windows of the airport\u2019s watch\/control tower, indicating that the internal equipment and structure have been set on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the picture, a militant riding a motorcycle armed with a modern automatic weapon is seen moving freely in front of the tower, reflecting complete control over the facility. The security situation in the area is extremely tense after the attack, however, no official statement has been released by the authorities on the final assessment of the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, Senior Civil Judge Ali Baig of Hub has mysteriously disappeared from the national highway while going to his home from Kalat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to police officials, the judge suddenly lost contact with his family during the journey, after which a search operation has been launched in the area to trace him. Despite the passage of several hours since the incident, no party or organization has accepted responsibility for the detention or kidnapping of the judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The disappearance of an important judicial official from the national highways and the occupation of a sensitive facility like the airport have triggered a serious security crisis in Balochistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Political and local circles say that the scope of administrative control in Balochistan has been limited and the writ of the state machinery seems to have disappeared, while on the other hand, the influence of Baloch independence organizations and armed movements is continuously increasing in the main highways and districts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
