QUETTA: Security forces have failed to trace the whereabouts of young players, despite passage of one week since the launch of an operation to find the kidnapped footballers in the Kachhi canal area of Sui tehsil.
While officials in Dera Bugti said search operation was still on amid hopes that young football players would be recovered, the local administration decided to constitute a tribal jirga comprising elders of different Bugti clans to contact the kidnappers and get the players released.
Earlier, the families of abducted young footballers and others took out a protest rally in Dera Bugti against the abduction.
The protesting families demanded that Nawabzada Shahzain Bugti and Gohram Bugti come forward and play their role for early, safe recovery of six football players. https://www.dawn.com/news/1775780/jirga-being-formed-for-footballers-release
