KARACHI: A bomb exploded inside the Sufi shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sindh’s Sehwan town on Thursday.
The blast took place inside the compound where a large number of devotees were performing Dhamal – a Sufi ritual, sources said.
Sehwan is 132 kilometers away from Jamshoro and around 140 kilometers from Hyderabad.
“The incident has taken place outside the mazar (shrine) where Golden Gate is located.
An emergency was imposed in hospitals across Dadu, Sehwan and Hyderabad.
“Ambulances from Hyderabad and Jamshoro have been sent to Sehwan. The town has a taluka hospital but it is not equipped with a trauma centre to deal with emergency cases,” in-charge Edhi Foundation Mairaj Ahmed said.
