According to Nation, hundreds of people fled their homes in the Dera Bugti town of Balochistan province on March 19, fearing renewed clashes between the troops and tribal insurgents and after a tribal chief warned them to take care of their own safety. Balochistan Government spokesperson, Raziq Bugti, said the exodus was sparked off after Nawab Akbar Bugti told officials and paramilitary forces to leave. District administrator, Abdul Samad Lasi, said 90 percent of the Dera Bugti population had left the town. Lasi added that at least 1,500-armed Bugti insurgents have taken up positions in the mountains outside the town and were waiting for an order to attack. As reported earlier, fierce gun battles between the tribal insurgents and troops in the area have killed at least 30 people and wounded more than 70.

The Police said on March 20 that they were investigating whether a suicide bomber had detonated a powerful bomb that killed at least 50 devotees at a shrine in the Fatehpur village of Jhal Magsi district in Balochistan province on March 19. Baluchistan police chief, Choudhury Muhammad Yaqub, said, "We are trying to ascertain whether it was a suicide bombing, because the body of a man close to the blast site had been ripped into small pieces." No one has claimed responsibility for the attack thus far. It could have been related to sectarian violence or be the handiwork of Baloch insurgents, Yaqub added. It could also have been targeted at the custodian of the shrine, Sadiq Ali Shah, who escaped unhurt, he said. Shah has been in a dispute with relatives over the custody of the shrine and last year survived an assassination attempt, Yaqub claimed.
