According to a Pakistan Railway official, unidentified militants had planted explosive material close to the railway track near Dera Murad Jamali area. The explosion destroyed a foot of the railway track.
“Railway officials repaired the damaged portion of the track near Dera Murad Jamali soon after the incident,” Mohammed Kashif, an official of Pakistan Railway in Quetta told The Express Tribune.
“Rail services were not disrupted as no passenger train was scheduled to cross the area,” he said, adding, “All the passenger trains arrived in Quetta on time.”

Excesses committed by Pakistan's Punjab dominated security forces targeting Baloch origin people such as enforced disappearances, extra judicial executions, torture, custodial rape, sponsoring death squad militia’s and the like will inevitably be opposed by freedom yearning people of Balochistan. The 700,000 Punjabi dominated occupation forces will not succeed in dousing the yearning for freedom from excesses of Pakistan’s Punjabi establishment and liberation in Balochistan, as indeed was the case with the erstwhile East Pakistan which forms todays Bangladesh, will happen.
Meanwhile India needs to fullest diplomatic and moral support to the Baloch freedom struggle. Consulates in Iran and Afghanistan must provide all necessary help. Pakistani protests if any even can be ignored by pointing out recent meeting of Pakistan’s New Delhi Embassy with Kashmiri Muslim separatists.
