Chamman Blast Today?Why there should be complete Ban on Afghans

Baluchistan: A bomb blast in the border town of Chaman killed five people and injured several others, including some members of the anti-narcotics force.

A bomb blast in the Pakistani border town of Chaman on Monday killed at least five people and injured 26 others.
The blast reportedly took place outside a market on Shahra Mall Road at Chaman's expense.
Assistant Commissioner Chaman Zakaullah Durrani told the BBC that unidentified men had planted explosives on a motorbike and parked it in front of Nada Market on Mall Road.
He said the bomb exploded with a loud blast, injuring several people and damaging property. The incident is being investigated, the assistant commissioner said.
He said that five bodies have been brought to District Headquarters Hospital Chaman so far.

 

 
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
According to Dr Muhammad Akhtar, MS, DHQ Hospital, 26 people injured in the blast were brought to his hospital, five of whom were in critical condition and have been shifted to Quetta for treatment.
An Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) vehicle was passing by at the time of the blast, which was damaged and some ANF personnel were reportedly injured in the attack.

Condemnation of the blast

Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan has condemned the bomb blast and said that terrorist elements want to destroy the peace of Chaman to achieve their nefarious aims.
He said that the plan to install a fence on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border was the biggest obstacle in the way of the intentions of anti-state elements.
The Chief Minister said that the installation of the fence would eradicate terrorism and illegal traffic and improve the law and order situation in the province including the border areas.
He said that with the cooperation of the people, full peace would be ensured in all areas including Chaman.
Senator Usman Kakar, provincial president of the Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, condemned the incident, calling it a conspiracy.
He said that the people of Chaman are very peaceful people and since the people of Chaman are traders and laborers and the greatest need of traders and laborers is for peace in their area.
He said that the people of Chaman not only have cross-border relations but their employment and livelihood also depend on border trade.
He said that some quarters wanted to stop the flow of people from here through various tricks and excuses.
The Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party leader said that there was a big protest in Chaman against the restrictions on the movement of people and the government had to accept the demands of the people.
He said that after the protest, the border was opened for one day traffic but now once again the situation there has deteriorated under a conspiracy.
According to Senator Usman Kakar, those who want to ban people's trade and business from Chaman want to ban it under the guise of these incidents which the people of Chaman will not accept.

 The closure of the border brought all business to a standstill

Security officials have also blamed the Afghan intelligence service, the NDS, for this, but Afghan officials have denied the allegations and have made similar allegations against Pakistan over the unrest in Afghanistan.
The protest in Chaman was violent three days before Eid, killing six people and injuring 30.

 
Following the violent protest, Balochistan Home Minister Mir Ziaullah Lango visited Chaman and held talks with protesting traders and labor leaders, which led to the protest being called off.
Sadiq Achakzai, a spokesman for the traders and workers' sit-in committee in Chaman, said one of their demands had been met, which was to restore the daily flow of traders and workers on a daily basis.
But the movement of workers and traders on a daily basis had not started as regularly as before March 2 when the unrest in Chaman took place.

When did the unrest in Chaman start again?

The situation in Afghanistan remained somewhat tense as a border area until the presence of the former Soviet Union troops, but Chaman, like other parts of Balochistan, was peaceful until 2000 after the withdrawal of the former Soviet Union troops from Afghanistan.
While bombings, targeted killings and targeting of security agencies began in other parts of Balochistan after 2000, these incidents began to occur in Chaman as time went on.
