QUETTA: Five people who were among the hundreds who had gone missing in Balochistan returned home on Friday night.

The development came one day after the prime minister’s announcement that some of the missing persons would start returning home in time to celebrate Eid with their families.

Among the five people were Dr Dost Mohammad Lango, a leader of the National Party, and Ahmed Mir Bugti, of the Baloch Republican Party. They were back in their homes in Quetta and Noshki.

The National Party had blamed security agencies for Dr Lango’s disappearance. Ahmed Mir Bugti went missing in March and neither his family nor the party had any clue about his whereabouts.

The other three were identified as Saleem Lango, Shaukat Lango and Aurangzeb Lango. All of them had gone missing two months ago.

Missing tribesmen released under Balochistan package : At least fifteen missing Bugti tribesmen have been released under the Balochistan Package announced by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani earlier in the week, DawnNews reported.

The tribesmen were released in the Dasht-e-Goran area of Dera Bugti district, and were able to join their families for Eid celebrations.

Five additional people were released late on Friday night under the same initiative, according to official sources.

However, the leaders of Baloch Republican Party and Baloch National Front claim that no political workers have been set free.— DawnNews
