College excluded from PSDP

Leader of the Opposition in Balochistan Assembly Mir Younas Aziz Zehri staged a walkout from the house in a protest over exclusion of Jhalawan Medical College from Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP).

In an address before leaving the session, Mir Younas berated the provincial government for neglecting a project of educational importance.

"Despite consistently raising this issue, no corrective measures have been taken. The project director remains in-charge, even though he is clearly unqualified," alleged Zehri, citing mismanagement and inefficiency in the college's administration.

Former Chief Minister and National Party leader Dr Malik Baloch echoed these concerns, warning that continued funding lapses and administrative failings could draw the attention of the Pakistan Medical Council (PMC).

"If PMC takes notice, the college's accreditation could be at risk — threatening the future of hundreds of medical students," he cautioned.

In response, Chief Minister Mir Sarfaraz Bugti assured to review the decision.
