Leader of Balochistan National Party-Awami and Member Balochistan Assembly Mir Asadullah Baloch has emphasized the need for allocating sizeable funds for initiating flagship projects in less developed areas to accommodate all sectors and ensuring equal distribution of development budget for all districts of the province. “Equality in the distribution of funds in the Public Sector Development Funds (PSDP) to all Constituencies of the province would help remove the sense of deprivation prevails among people living in remote areas of the province,” he said while talking to media persons here Friday.
Asadullah Baloch said to bring the disgruntled people in mainstream, there is a dire need to initiate flagship projects in Balochistan and boost economic activities in the region and ensure employment opportunities to the local people.
He asked the provincial government to give priorities to less developed areas in the public sector development program as they would help in bringing prosperity to local areas.
He also urged the Federal government to ensure maximum employment opportunities to the youth of Balochistan in the second phase of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Reko Diq.
He said that the Balochistan government remained elusive to provide employment and over 25,000 graduates were being added to unemployed individuals every year. Asad Baloch said that around 7,000 engineers and over 3,000 doctors were waiting for a decent job and source of income which would continue to increase anxiety among the youth with each passing day.
He suggested that the provincial government should announced employment allowance of Rs 50,000 for engineers and up to Rs 100,000 for doctors. Baloch stressed that the government should initiate projects for the welfare of formers and provide subsidy on seeds, electricity, agriculture equipments and fertilizers.
