  "summary": "Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti has reaffirmed his administration's dedication to merit-based recruitment in the public sector, announcing the appointment of 19 officers to the Balochistan Revenue Authority (BRA) through a transparent process conducted by the Higher Education Commission. Speaking at a ceremony, CM Bugti emphasized the BRA's potential to significantly impact the province's economic future by generating revenue to reduce non-developmental expenditure, which currently consumes a substantial portion of provincial resources. The chief minister highlighted the appointment of over 14,500 teachers on merit in the Education Department as an example of this policy, and commended Finance Minister Mir Shoaib Nosherwani, BRA Chairperson Abdullah Khan Noorzai, and the entire team for their role in ensuring fairness and transparency. He urged the new officers to serve with hard work, dedication, integrity, and unconditional loyalty to the state.",
