“We are working at every level to resolve public problems and ensure that every citizen receives their rightful share.”

The chief minister emphasised that the government’s mission goes beyond administrative reforms; it aims to bring meaningful, positive change to the lives of the people of the province.

Issues related to religious harmony, welfare of minorities and promotion of interfaith unity in the province were discussed during the meeting.

Sanjay Kumar and Peter Arshad provided the chief minister with details about the proposed programmes to be organised in the province on the occasion of Minority Day and invited the chief minister to participate in these events as special guest.

Mr Bugti said in the meeting that all minorities living in Balochistan play a significant role in the province’s development process and social harmony.
