Development in Gwadar is not possible without provision of clean drinking water, Gas and electricity – Jam Kamal
Speaking about development in Gwadar, Minister of State said, “Gwadar is rapidly developing city and for that matter it needs the facility of gas.” He reiterated that development in Gwadar is not possible without provision of clean drinking water, Gas and electricity.
Lamenting the lack of interest of provincial government in development programs, Mr. Kamal said “last year Prime Minister announced Rs. 15 billion for development of Balochistan and all of that was lapsed because provincial government did not propose projects in given time frame.”
He urged Media and political leaders to put pressure on provincial government to identify schemes which can be proposed to Federal government for funds allocation.
