(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Members of the Shia families and relatives of the Kirani road victims began the burial of the bodies in Quetta’s Hazara Town graveyard after ending a sit-in infront of Balochistan’s Governors House which begun on Saturday.

A heavy contingent of security forces had arrived at the site to monitor the situation.
Meanwhile, the sit-ins staged in major cities of the country in solidarity with the victims were called off.
A vehicular routes which were blocked due to security reasons during the protests were opened for traffic on Wednesday.
Similarly the suspended airport routes and railway traffic were also resumed.
