A large number of protesters are staging a sit-in outside the Governor House here on Saturday to protest the killings of 21 people who were kidnapped from two Karachi-bound coaches and gunned down by armed men on Friday.
On Friday night, gunmen kidnapped about two dozen passengers from two Karachi-bound coaches and killed at least 21 of them in Khad Kocha, a mountainous area about 70km southeast of the provincial capital, in Mastung district.
The family members and relatives of those killed in the Mastung massacre are protesting outside the Governor House with victims' bodies laid beside them.
The protesters decided to continue the protest after negotiations between them and the administration failed.
Security around the Balochistan Chief Minister House and the Governor House was tightened as protesters crossed the Red Zone to demonstrate.
Meanwhile, security personnel conducted a operation in different parts of Mastung in the wake of the tragedy last night.
Frontier Corps (FC) spokesman told DawnNews that at least five miscreants were killed by security forces in the operation in which over 200 FC personnel participated.
