KHUZDAR: Fifteen personnel of the Levies Force in the Khuzdar district of Balochistan have been dismissed from service for failing to resist terrorists and surrendering their weapons.
On Jan 8, 80 militants riding motorcycles and vehicles entered the Zehri Tehsil of Khuzdar and caused damage to several government buildings, including the Levies station, Nadra office, and municipal committee. They also took some Levies personnel hostage, seized their weapons, government vehicles and escaped.
