The political administration also declared three-days of mourning across the agency, where all education and business centers remained closed on the second day.
“Due to lack of facilities and limitation of equipment in the Agency Headquarters Hospital, 25 patients were referred to a provincial capital hospital,” AHQ Medical Superintendent Sabir Hussain told The Express Tribune. “We have discharged 15 people who suffered minor injuries,” he added.
