DERA MURAD JAMALI: Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan has said that his government believes in equal development of entire province and that it has launched various development projects in every district of the province without any discrimination.

Speaking to media personnel and the people during his visit to Jhal Magsi and Gandawah areas of Nasirabad division, he said that irrespective of winning or losing elections from an area the present government gave equal attention to development of all areas. He inaugurated various development projects and laid down foundation stone of new schemes.

“Dams are being constructed in different areas of the province while development works in health, sports, education, road, agriculture and other sectors are also under way in all districts of Balochistan,” he said.

He said development schemes must be completed within the given time, adding that the government was making all-out efforts to complete all development projects it had initiated in the province as soon as possible.

In reply to a question, he said that there had been a lot of progress in the construction of Nolang dam. He regretted that work on the project could not be completed in the past 10 years due to political reasons. But, he added, the present government was taking interest in the completion of this project.

He said the government was taking the problem of unemployment seriously and it was working hard to create employment opportunities.

He said that the government was promoting sport activities in Balochistan and for the purpose stadiums were being built and young people were being encouraged to take part in sport activities.
