During the high-level meeting, officials conducted a detailed review of the province’s law and order situation, ongoing development initiatives, and public welfare programs. The committee also assessed the implementation status of decisions taken in previous sessions.
A major outcome of the meeting was the decision to launch a province-wide crackdown against organized extortion networks, gold smuggling rings, and illegal money transfer operations such as hundi and hawala, alongside other financial crimes. The committee expressed concern over the underperformance of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Balochistan and directed the agency to intensify operations against white-collar offenders and organized extortion groups.
The forum also approved a complete ban on the publication and circulation of anti-state or hate-inciting material, emphasizing zero tolerance for propaganda that threatens national unity.
In a significant policy move, the committee announced that MBBS graduates would be required to serve a minimum of three years in their respective home districts to improve healthcare access in rural and underserved areas.
Law enforcement was further instructed to take strict action against individuals involved in poppy cultivation and trafficking, with offenders to be included in the Fourth Schedule for enhanced monitoring and accountability.
The committee expressed satisfaction with completed projects under the Balochistan Special Development Initiatives (BSDI) and urged government departments to accelerate ongoing schemes to ensure timely completion. Public grievances, including low gas pressure in Quetta, were also addressed, with the General Manager of Sui Southern Gas Company directed to resolve the issue promptly.
Speaking at the meeting, Chief Minister Bugti said the government’s efforts to restore peace and stability in the province were showing “concrete results.”
