PM directs to accelerate pace of work on development projects in Balochistan

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan has directed the concerned ministries and provincial government to accelerate the pace of work on transport, energy and infrastructure projects in Balochistan.

Chairing a meeting in Islamabad to review progress of Southern Balochistan Development Package, he voiced his concerns over the slow pace of development projects and of not holding the meeting of apex committee headed by the Chief Minister Balochistan.

He emphasized on holding meetings of the apex committee every month and that of execution committee every fortnight to speed up 200 development projects worth 655 billion rupees.

The Prime Minister said that he will personally hold review committee meetings every month to remove impediments in the completion of development projects.

Imran Khan directed the concerned authorities to complete Turbat Airport and build two nursing colleges in Gawadar and Turbat at the earliest. “Issues of Balochistan are different from rest of the country and its population is scattered, and due to long distances we have to find out of box solutions to improve the lives of the people of Balochistan.”

He directed the Balochistan government to revamp its governance structure at the grassroots level not only to accelerate the pace of work on development projects but also to improve upon the service delivery to the common man.
