They planted boms at different places already i.e. Town hall, Misgran gate and other sites and also parked vehicles with explosives and hand grenades on different places to use it at the time of fleeing or at time of fighting with security forces. The terrorists are more organised and well planned than security forces, especially police. The central jail built during British rule has 6-7 feet wide outer boundary but the intruders managed to enter in the jail and nealy blasted 50-60 bombs. The jail is surrounded by important buildings like police lines, private Rahmania hospital, district women's hospital, distrct headquarter hospital then houses of politicians. courts, and boys college. The jail should have been rebuilt outside the city. Because now houses and buildings have been damaged. Curfew has been imposed in D I Khan and Tank distrcits.
