Quetta: The federal government has allocated funds worth PKR 10 billion for the launch of several beautification projects in the provincial capital of Quetta, a news source reported. Member National Assembly (MNA) Munawara Muneer expressed her views on the matter during a press briefing held on Wednesday.
She said that the federal government led by Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan had made these allocations for the Balochistan capital under the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP). She added that the executive had reserved a significant amount of funds for the launch of development schemes in Balochistan in order bring it at par with other provinces.
The MNA also revealed that the federal government had given PKR 10 billion to Balochistan National Party-Mengal Chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal for initiating several development projects in the province.
