QUETTA: Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) chief organiser Sardar Akhtar Mengal said on Monday that the law and order situation had not improved despite allocation of huge funds to the law-enforcement agencies. People were hiring private security guards for their security, he added.

The BNP-M leader, speaking to the Balochistan High Court Bar Association (BHCBA) members, said that the government had failed in protecting the life of citizens.
