A parliamentary panel has asked the government for the complete record of the 5,000 jobs announced under the Aghaz-e-Huqooq-e-Balochistan Package.
The Senate Sub-committee on Problems of Less Developed Areas met under the convenorship of Senator Jan Muhammad Buledi.
The committee sought details of the measures taken to create the posts, the number of vacancies filled and the current status of implementation.
Officials from the Establishment Division and the Planning Division briefed the committee on the implementation of the package, development projects, allocation and utilisation of funds, employment opportunities and the progress of various schemes in Balochistan.
Convener Jan Muhammad said the package is a crucial initiative aimed at safeguarding the rights of the people of Balochistan, promoting development and addressing the sense of deprivation in the province.
He noted that significant initiatives were undertaken during the Pakistan Peoples Party’s tenure, but the desired results could not be achieved due to gaps in implementation.
The Planning Division briefed the committee on development projects worth Rs348 billion for Balochistan and four projects under the Public Sector Development Programme.
Senator Dinesh Kumar raised concerns over the information presented and stressed that the committee should be provided accurate and verified figures.
The convener directed the authorities to submit comprehensive details of the funds allocated under the package, the total cost of each project, allocations made against individual schemes and the utilisation of funds.
Senator Dinesh Kumar called for a complete list of all approved development projects, concerned departments and schemes for Balochistan, saying the record should clearly reflect the release and utilisation of funds, work completed and progress on ongoing projects.
