  "summary": "The Standing Committee on Fisheries of the Balochistan Assembly has reviewed the Fisheries and Aquaculture Bill 2026, which aims to modernise and consolidate regulations governing the province’s fisheries sector. The meeting, chaired by Maulana Hidayatur Rehman Baloch, focused on the need for a unified framework covering sustainable fisheries, aquaculture, harbour management, licencing, digital governance, monitoring, environmental protection, and the welfare of fishermen. The committee expressed concern over outdated existing laws and recommended dissolving certain authorities to improve efficiency and coordination. The next meeting will be held in Gwadar to gather feedback from local fishermen and stakeholders before finalising the bill.",
