QUETTA: Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti on Thursday approved a series of reform measures aimed at improving departmental efficiency, safeguarding public health and strengthening transparent governance, including a plan to relocate dairy farms from Quetta city.

One of the key decisions, taken during a meeting, was the phased relocation of dairy farms from within the city to areas outside municipal limits.

To ensure effective implementation, a special committee was formed to review all aspects of the plan and submit a comprehensive report within one week.

The meeting also approved departmental recruitments in the livestock and dairy development department.

The chief minister noted that improvements in the livestock and dairy sector would create new employment opportunities across the province. The initiative is expected to significantly enhance milk and meat production, strengthen the provincial economy and improve the standard of living.
