DERA MURAD JAMALI: Balochistan Caretaker Chief Minister Mir Ali Mardan Khan Domki visited Nasirabad division to review the law and order situation and preparations for elections which are scheduled to be held on Feb 8.

Presiding over a meeting, the chief minister said that funds for transportation would be released to deputy commissioners by the provincial government in two days.

“A comprehensive security plan has been prepared to ensure peaceful holding of elections and provision of drinking water, washrooms and other basic facilities at all polling stations in the area,” Mr Domki said.

The chief minister said that the Election Commission has kept the transport rate higher than other provinces due to communication difficulties in Balochistan.
