ISLAMABAD, July 5: List of missing persons in the Balochistan has come down to 92 while a number of missing persons after investigations have been found involved in criminal activities and not even picked up by government agencies.

This was said by speakers at an intellectual forum that stressed the need for projecting the issue of Balochistan in its correct perspective and clearing the wrong perceptions being propagated by some elements here on Thursday.

“The ground realities are different and there is a misconception about the actual situation in the province,” eminent speakers said while addressing a gathering at the forum.

They said the mainstream media, both print and electronic, should give more coverage to Balochistan specially highlighting positive aspects as opposed to the negative propaganda by anti-state elements in the province. — APP
