QUETTA: The funeral prayers for the slain coal miners, who were shot dead by the terrorists in Machh area of Balochistan on Sunday (January 3), have on Saturday been offered in Quetta.

Earlier on Friday night, the families and relatives of the martyred coal miners called off their sit- in protest and agreed to bury their loved ones after successful negotiations with the government delegation led by Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal.

The Hazara community had staged a sit-in, along with the coffins of their martyrs, on Quetta’s Western Bypass for the past six days. The dead bodies of the coal miners were then shifted to Hazara Town from the Western Bypass.
