QEUTTA (Dunya News) - In light of security concerns, authorities have imposed a night travel ban on public transport and trucks in Balochistan’s Kachhi and Musakhel districts from 5 PM to 5 AM.

According to a notification issued by Deputy Commissioner Kachhi, traffic from Sibi to Quetta was stopped at Kolpur between 5 PM and 5 AM, only resuming in the morning.
