Blast site visit: Quetta official gets angry reception
Additional Commissioner Quetta Tariq Javed visited a blast site in Marriabad on Tuesday amid hostility. A suicide bomber had killed 12 people and injured over 30 others soon after Eid prayers in Marriabad.
Angered residents used harsh language against Javed and even, reportedly, tried to ‘manhandle’ him. However, personnel of Levies and the police intervened and arrested one man.
While declining to comment on the incident, Tariq Javed said he had come to estimate the losses caused by the suicide attack. “The chief minister has formed a committee to examine the losses and damages caused by blast, which will present its report within three days,” he told reporters. “The government will compensate all those affected.”

The ineffectual bureaucrats visits are useless and are of no significance. They are just there to overstate the losses and swindle the public money in name of compensation. Come what may, every disaster and calamity brings more happiness and riches to bureaucracy. If there are floods, they steal the aid, they cover up the undone work and report it as washed by the floods. If it is earthquake, all the undone work is shown as destroyed by the earth quake. If it is a bomb blast, they compensate their cronies and leave the affected to the good mother nature. The resentment of public against the bureaucracy is not unfounded, but lies deep in their deprivations
