Four months after Quetta police college tragedy, newly-built wall collapses

QUETTA: The newly-constructed wall of the Quetta police training college reportedly collapsed on Monday, roughly four months after the attack on the facility that martyred 61 security personnel.

The wall of the training college was built again to enhance security arrangements for the college. The wall was built with millions of rupees.

Following a spell of rain, 60 percent area of the wall caved in.

On Oct 25, at least 61 security personnel were martyred and 117 injured when terrorists stormed the Police Training College located on Sariab Road.

The terrorists entered the hostel of the centre and opened fire on the security personnel. According to personnel in the hostel, the terrorists started firing point blank.

Later on, it emerged that the police cadets present at the training facility had no firearms, whereas the mud-made boundary wall of the centre was also broken and of low height. The attackers managed to storm the facility through the broken wall.
