Balochistan judges to get bullet-proof cars
March 06, 2014 - 12:02:32 am
ISLAMABAD: The Balochistan government decided in principle yesterday to provide bullet-proof vehicles to all judges of the Balochistan High Court.
Informed sources said that the decision was taken during a meeting held to review security plan of judges of the Balochistan High Court and other subordinate courts in view of the gun and suicide attack on an Islamabad court which left a sessions court judge, and 11 people, including some lawyers, dead.
“The government has a plan to immediately provide bullet-proof vehicles to all high court judges,” the sources said. At present only Chief Justice of the Balochistan High Court has a bullet-proof vehicle.
“We are reviewing security arrangements in and around the Balochistan High Court and other subordinate courts in view of the Islamabad suicide attack,” the sources said, adding that senior security and government officials held a meeting with the Registrar of the Balochistan High Court yesterday for the purpose.
“We discussed new security arrangements for the BHC and other courts in Quetta in view of concerns expressed by the Chief Justice of Balochistan High Court about security of all judges and courts,” he said.
Under the new security plan, snipers will be deployed in and around the courts and watch towers built as soon as possible.
“Similar security arrangements will also be made for security of courts in other areas of the province.
Sources said that a senior judge of a district court informed authorities concerned about threats received by some of judges of subordinate courts and demanded more security for judges. A suicide bomber blew himself up in the court room of a senior judge some three years ago during hearing of a case.
