Security has been reinforced through the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, in response to the attack on the Jaffar Express in Balutchistan.
Following the violent incident, local authorities took rapid measures to strengthen security, especially in sensitive government areas, Express News reported.
Security around Islamabad police lines has been considerably tightened.
The roads adjacent to the police lines and the IG office were blocked, and additional police commandos were deployed to ensure safety.
Concrete blocks have been placed outside the police lines and barbed wire were set up in the context of improved security measures.
The authorities have taken these precautionary measures to protect key areas, in light of the threat continued by attackers and growing security problems across the country.
The authorities have clearly indicated that these measures are temporary, pending resolution of the situation, and assured the public that additional security will remain in place.
Police work with diligence to maintain order and respond to any other threat.
Increased vigilance is a direct response to the recent attack by Jaffar Express, which has shaken local authorities and citizens. Additional updates to the security situation are expected, the Islamabad authorities on alert for any potential development.
The security forces killed 27 activists and rescued more than 150 hostages in a customs clearance launched after an unknown number of heavily armed terrorists stormed a train bound for Peshawar in the Bolan district of Baloutchistan, Express News reported on Wednesday.
Jaffar Express, with more than 400 passengers on board in nine bogies, was on the road from Quetta to Peshawar when she was attacked in the Dhadar area of the Bolan pass on Tuesday, according to security sources.
After the attack, the security forces launched an immediate customs clearance operation, leading to the death of 27 terrorists.
Security sources have confirmed that terrorists responsible for the cowardly Jaffar Express attack are in contact with their brain in Afghanistan.
It all started after armed armed men arrested the train in a distant mountainous area from the province on Tuesday afternoon, with the assault immediately claimed by the Liberation Army Baloch Baloch (Bla), a terrorist group behind growing violence in the province.
The attackers bombed the railway before storming on the train, the security forces said.
