QUETTA: Chief Minister Nawab Sanaullah Khan Zehri has said that peace, prosperity and development are returning to the province after great sacrifices put in by the masses and security forces.

“A bright and educated Balochistan is my dream and I want to materialise my dream before transition of incumbent government so that masses could always remember us with good names,” he said. He asked the youth of Balochistan to put in their efforts and energy towards education.

Earlier, the chief minister distributed 150 laptops among the students of various universities of the province.
