Meanwhile, in a recent update stemming from discussions between the caretaker prime minister’s committee and the Baloch Unity March demonstrators, a significant number of detainees, including women and children, have been freed.
The committee, composed of three ministers, engaged in talks with the participants, resulting in the release of most of those detained.
