Over 290 passengers reached Sukkur on Saturday morning after a journey that lasted for more than a day. “It was like being in prison,” complained Azadar Hussain*, who had been quarantined in Pakistan House, Taftan, along with 47 companions since February 29. At the Sindh-Balochistan border, Hussain and the other passengers were handed over to the Sindh police. Meanwhile, Ronak Hasan*, who reached Taftan on March 6 with 29 others from Bhit Shah, is still at the border town. He further said that another batch of 648 travellers were ready to leave Taftan for Sukkur, directing the commissioner to make arrangements for their accommodation.
