Sit-in ends as govt, Ziarat committee strike judicial inquiry deal

On Friday, the Balochistan government agreed to establish a judicial commission investigating the Ziarat tragedy, ending a prolonged sit-in by families of martyred policemen in Quetta.
Families of the slain officers held a sit-in at Koyila Phatak for nine straight days, while a province-wide shutter-down strike signaled widespread solidarity with their demands for justice.
Under the deal, victims receive official martyr status, financial compensation, and educational support for their children, with the government committing to rename public buildings in Ziarat honoring the fallen.
Home Minister Ziaullah Langove and PkMAP secretary general Abdul Rahim Ziaratwal signed the agreement late Friday, allowing authorities to transport the seven martyred policemen's bodies to Ziarat.
Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti will convene a joint meeting with opposition leaders to discuss security challenges, while officials establish a revenue committee to address broader public grievances.
