QUETTA: The Balochistan Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution on Saturday that called for import without duty of bullet-proof vehicles for legislators.

The resolution was moved by Home Minister Mir Zafarullah Zehri at an assembly session presided over by Deputy Speaker Syed Matiullah Agha.

Mr Zehri said legislators, including ministers, faced real threats to their lives and the import of bullet-proof vehicles should be exempted from duties and taxes.

Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Shama Parveen Magsi and MPA Mir Zahoor Hussain Khosa supported the resolution.

Four other resolutions were also approved, two of them moved by Mr Khosa, Senior Minister Maulana Abdul Wasey and Health Minister Ainullah Shams.

The resolutions sought smooth supply of gas to various villages in Nasirabad and Jaffarabad districts and to Killi Aghbarg, in the outskirts of Quetta.

Another resolution moved by Mr Shams and Zahoor Ahmed Buledi, which said the National High Authority should be made to complete work on the Kuchlak-Yaro section of National Highway, was adopted unanimously.

Yet another resolution urged the federal government to write off agriculture loans taken out by landowners of the Nasirabad and Jhal Magsi districts because they were badly affected by floods two years ago.

The session was later adjourned for an indefinite period.
