  "account": "Balochistan's Chief Minister, Mir Sarfraz Bugti, emphasized that any consideration of establishing new provinces within the region should focus on administrative efficiency as opposed to linguistic boundaries. During a video conference with media representatives, Bugti stressed the need for a governance system that could adequately serve Balochistan's expansive and diverse population. He argued that maintaining the province's administration solely from Quetta was impractical and that an improved administrative framework was crucial for enhancing governance and service delivery. Bugti stated that the ongoing conflict with insurgents would persist until all terrorists were eliminated, reaffirming the civil and military leadership's unified stance against militancy. He also dismissed any ambiguity surrounding the issue, stating that state institutions were working together to combat terrorism.",
