‘No-go areas’ do not exist in Balochistan, claims Bugti

Quetta, Pakistan — Balochistan's Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti asserted on Saturday that no-go areas do not exist within the region and that lawmakers routinely visit their constituencies to engage with constituents. Addressing an open court in North Dera Bugti, Bugti emphasized the government's commitment to addressing public grievances and providing essential services, stating these are among the administration's top priorities.

He explained that open courts were established to enable citizens to voice their concerns directly to the government, ensuring that relevant departments were held accountable for their actions. Bugti further directed officials to respond swiftly to public complaints and resolve issues without undue delays.

Bugti underlined the significance of regional development initiatives, noting efforts to secure federal funding for a highway connecting Taunsa in Punjab with Balochistan. He also issued directives for a survey to construct a road from Chhapar National Highway to Kharar Buzdar, which, once completed, would provide the province with an alternative transportation route to Punjab.
