The expectations of peoples of Kharan died at the eleventh hour when Chief Minister (CM) of Balochistan cancelled his official visit to Kharan for the inauguration of Yak Much to Bisema road.
This was supposed to be the first visit of a CM to Kharan since the days of Late Jam Yousaf.
Security is considered to be the main reason for cancelling his visit. On the other hand CM himself said that foreign investors are safe here but he himself can’t travel to district of Kharan, which is peaceful as compared to other districts, on pretext of security concerns.

In spite of this, people of Kharan believe that there are some other reasons for cancelation of CM’s visit to Kharan. People of Kharan believe that CM cancelled his Kharan visit to avoid announcement of numerous projects for Kharan, including announcement of establishment of RAKSHAN Division and making Kharan divisional headquarter and also upgradation of district heath care centre.
Interestingly, on the day of supposed visit of CM, it was the first time when both MNA and MPA of Kharan were in the city at the same time. People enjoyed electricity 24 hours without any interruption, roads where cleaned and staff of all departments were present.
According to an estimate, 40 goats where slaughtered to prepare traditional Balochi Sajji for lunch of CM’s delegation but all went in vain.
People of Kharan believe that just like previous CMs, incumbent CM is also not interested in solving their problems. They believe that CM has limited himself to Quetta only.
CMs of Balochistan from Nawab Aslam Raisani to Nawab Sanaullah Zehri travel to Islamabad and Karachi every week but they do not pay a single visit to Kharan district in years which is very unfortunate.
