Minister for States and Frontier Regions, Yar Muhammad Rind said on Tuesday that completion of mega projects in Balochistan would bring a silent revolution of development in the province. Speaking in a PTV programme, he said, most of the mega projects currently under progress would be completed during the next fiscal year.
He said that Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz had given cheques worth Rs 100 million to each district nazim in the province for the improvement of basic civic facilities in their areas. This would help boost development activities at grassroots level, he said, adding the people of Balochistan would be the direct beneficiaries.
He said, first time in the history a government had given development funds to all the elected representatives without any discrimination. He said those who were opposing the development process in the province in fact fear their political bankruptcy.
Explaining he said, during the past five decades the province remained neglected and no substantial development had taken place.
During the past six years, the province remained main focus of the government and mega projects worth Rs 140 billion were initiated.
The projects on completion would of course change the lifestyle of the people and they would no more be at the mercy of feudal lords. It is under this confusion and fear that some people are making futile efforts to block the way of development process, he observed.
