QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal on Monday said the provincial government is working on a mechanism to build a functional governing system in the province, reiterating the need to strengthen capacity of the departments.

Addressing the participants of National Security and War Course here in Quetta, CM Jam Kamal said the incumbent regime in Balochistan is working on new reforms in the government departments to enhance their capacity.

“Measures are being taken to ensure provision of quality education, health, and clean drinking water facilities to the people in every corner of the province,” said Kamal while emphasising that the development schemes are revamping the province’s infrastructure.

Replying to question asked by a participant, Kamal lamented over the lack of sincerity and funds during the previous regimes and briefed that the provincial government has been focusing on completing the uplift projects in the given timeframe.

“We have allocated funds for the departments in the province which were neglected for decades,” he said. “Strict monitoring is ensured to maintain quality in all the schemes,” the CM vowed.

“The incumbent government has also removed many fake development schemes included in Public Sector Development Program subjected to corruption,” Kamal said.

Talking about law and order situation in the province, the Balochistan CM affirmed that the government is taking all measures to protect public life and property while the Levies Force, equipped with modern weapons and training, is also playing its part.

“We are pursuing a policy where we can stablise the provincial economy through its own natural resources instead of depending on the Federal government,” Kamal said while adding that the government is making a shift to solar energy to fulfill province’s energy needs and to benefit the agriculture sector.

Kamal also lauded the sacrifices of the security personnel in the war against terrorism.
