QUETTA: Militants on Sunday blew up a 24-inch gas pipeline in Balochistan's resources-rich Dera Bugti district.

Militants had planted improvised explosive device (IED) close to gas pipeline in Landola area of the district, Levies sources told Dawn, adding that the explosives went off with a big bang.

Gas supply to adjoining villages was disrupted due to damage caused by the powerful blast that rocked the entire area, Levies said.

Levies and Frontier Corps personnel were quick at the scene and fire fighters were also called to extinguish roaring flames of fire.

However, it was learnt that the technical staff of the gas company was facing problems in terms of immediate repair of the destroyed portion owing to uncertain law and order situation in the area.

There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

The incident has come days after militants blew up two 220kv transmission lines in Balochistan's Notal area, which had caused suspension of power supply to 29 districts of the province.

Sabotage of gas pipelines is a characteristic tactic of tribal militants which is frequently witnessed in Balochistan. However, the province also suffers from attacks carried out by Taliban militants.

BLA BLUF and BRA should ask what such attacks will achieve. Gas in Baloch homes is disrupted thats all. Anyone claiming to fight for a certain group when he hurts the efforts of that certain group and murders his own people has reached the point of barbarism and is not going to return.

Just like the taliban murder muslims while claiming to fight for Islam, similarly these terrorist outfits attack innocent Balochs. When a group fighting for a peoples rights kills its own people what should it be called? Mir Muzaffar Jamali was killed by these same people.

Will they threaten the future gas pipeline projects in Baluchistan ?

Muslims and Hindus live in peace for long time before India and Pakistan was divided reason for division is unfair way of treatment
