The Prime Minister said that the federation will transfer 28 thousand tubewells of the province to solar in collaboration with Balochistan.

Balochistan is the largest province of Pakistan in terms of area but the most backward province in terms of almost all economic indicators, which was devastated by torrential rains in March this year. Roads were inundated in Kharan and Kuch districts due to floods and farmers faced economic hardship as crops were washed away.

The prime minister is visiting the militancy-hit province at a time when the government is trying to drum up support for a new military operation it announced last month as ‘Operation Resolute Stability’.

The government announced the operation following a meeting of the Central Apex Committee on the National Action Plan last month, which was attended by senior government officials and military leaders from all provinces, including PTI-backed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.

However, later Prime Minister Sharif clarified that the operation will not be launched before it is discussed in Parliament. He added that the commitment to stability would only intensify the military operations that have already been launched once morest the militants and aimed at eradicating them from the country.

Yesterday, Shahbaz Sharif paid a one-day visit to Karachi, the commercial and industrial city of Pakistan, where he met members of the business community and inspected port operations.

The Prime Minister directed the authorities to improve the transportation of goods at Karachi port. He said that Pakistan has an important geographical position in the region and provides the easiest sea trade route for the Central Asian states.
