QUETTA: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, Balochistan chapter, has said that the provincial government over the past six months has failed to deliver, especially on the issues of education and health, and added that the ruling coalition has no programme for the welfare of people.

The PTI activists on the call of the party leadership paraded streets in parts of the city on Sunday before converging on the Quetta Press Club.

Addressing protesters, PTI’s provincial chief Qasim Suri said that drone strikes, terrorist attacks, price hike and unemployment were major problems affecting the people but the government had proved to be ineffective in tackling these issues.
