Officers of the health department, MMD, social welfare, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) and other departments concerned attended, along with the Additional Deputy Commissioner General. They shared the information and records available to them.

The meeting reviewed in detail the losses caused by the blasts at Pishin Stop, Chaman Phatak and elsewhere. Officials briefed the meeting on figures and records on the dead and injured, affected families, government and private buildings, vehicles, shops and other property.
