The federal government has announced that it will recruit 2,200 Baloch youth in the National Highways and Motorways Police, Radio Pakistan reported on Monday.

Minister of State for Communications Murad Saeed in an interview said the educated youth of Balochistan will be recruited to the state institution to integrate them into the mainstream.

The decision was made for the benefit of Baloch youth following the approval of Prime Minister Imran Khan, Saeed said.

The minister mentioned that the quota of Balochistan in federal jobs is only six per cent according to rules. He said the development of Balochistan was among the top priorities of the incumbent government.

The minister urged the Baloch youth to come forward and play their part in serving the nation.
