The bodies of eight Pakistani nationals, tragically killed in Iran by the Baloch National Army (BNA), are scheduled to arrive at the Bahawalpur Airport at 3:00am tonight. A special flight, which departed from Karachi earlier today, has already reached Zahidan to facilitate the return of the deceased.
At the airport, the bodies will be received by key officials, including the Commissioner, Regional Police Officer (RPO), District Coordination Officer (DCO) of Bahawalpur, and Mian Usman Awaisi, Member of National Assembly (MNA) from PMLN.
In a somber moment, two next of kin (NOK) from each deceased’s family will also be present at the airport to identify their loved ones. The remains will then be transported by a fleet of 10 ambulances to their native towns. Seven of the bodies will be taken to Bahawalpur, while one will be sent to Shujaabad and another to Multan.
The tragic loss has deeply affected the families and the community, and local authorities are ensuring that the remains are returned with dignity.
