  "summary": "The federal government has instructed all ministries and divisions to fill vacant positions in Basic Pay Scales (BS-1 to BS-15) that have been allocated to Balochistan under the provincial quota. This directive, issued on October 27, 2026, includes one-time relaxations to help eligible candidates from across the province compete for these positions. All relevant departments must advertise these vacancies on the National Job Portal and complete the recruitment process before November 30, 2026. Special provisions have been made to facilitate women and minorities, and eligible candidates from Balochistan can fill the remaining vacancies if local ones are not available. The recruitment process will be conducted locally in Balochistan's districts through selection committees, and ministries are required to publicize all details in advance.",
