Efforts were afoot to bring the disgruntled Baloch leaders in the national mainstream. "About 150 missing persons have been traced due to the efforts of the incumbent government," he said during the budget speech for the financial year 2012-13 Balochistan Assembly here.

"Check posts of the Frontier Corps, after receiving complaints from public were removed. Minister stressed and added that over one hundred and fifty people who went missing from different parts of the province were recovered, he maintained.
