The Balochistan government has imposed a ban on nighttime travel in the province.
This ban is on Sibi Road, Zhob-DI Khan Road, Coastal Highway, Quetta-Taftan Highway and Loralai-DG Khan Highway.
The decision has come after worsening law and order situation in Balochistan.
All transport heading from Karachi or Quetta to Gwadar would depart between 5am and 10am, while those setting from the port city to the two cities would do so between 6am and 1pm.
The transporters were told not to travel between 6pm and 6am from March 27 till further orders are issued.
According to Balochistan government spokesman Shahid Rind, national highways have been closed 76 times for various reasons since January 1.
Earlier, a suicide attack took place near a Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) rally near Mastung’s Lak Pass.
Most recently, armed men blocked the Coastal Highway in Gwadar and killed six people — all hailing from Punjab — after disembarking them from a Karachi-bound bus.
Jaffar Express train was hijacked earlier this month, in which 26 hostages, including 18 security personnel, lost their lives. Five more security personnel were martyred during the operation.
Last month, militants blocked various points on the Quetta-Sukkur N-65 highway in Bolan and seized weapons from the security team of Balochistan Parliamentary Secretary Mir Liaquat Ali Lehri.
