Teacher killed in Quetta

QUETTA: A principal of Kali Shekhan School and a representative of Watan Teachers Association, Nazir Marri was killed due to firing by unidentified persons on Arbab Karam Khan Road on Tuesday.

Students protested and burned tyres against the murder of the school teacher thus suspending traffic.

While protesting against the incident, students blocked traffic on Saryab Phattak, Double Road, Imdaad Chowk, and Zarghoon Road. The angry students resorted to vandalism, forcing the police to use tear gas. They also burned down a memorial on Imdaad Chowk.

The police dispersed the protesters before restoring traffic.

Following an appeal from Watan Teachers Association all schools remained closed for the day whereas a 10 day mourning period was declared.
