Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif landed in Quetta on Saturday for a one-day visit to attend the Balochistan security jirga. The gathering was arranged to discuss the worsening law and order situation in the province.
Officials from the aviation department confirmed the Prime Minister’s arrival at Quetta Airport. He was welcomed by Acting Governor Abdul Khaliq Achakzai, Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti, and other senior leaders of the province.
The Balochistan security jirga took place in the provincial capital. It included tribal chiefs, political representatives, provincial ministers, and lawmakers. This security forum was convened to find ways to improve coordination between stakeholders. The aim is to restore peace and calm across the province.
According to official sources, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will seek input from tribal elders and local leaders. His goal is to address internal security challenges and promote regional development. During the tribal consultation, he is expected to call for unity and collective efforts for peace.
The Balochistan security jirga is part of a broader strategy by the federal and provincial governments. They want to involve local communities in shaping decisions that affect peace and security in the region.
Later in the day, the Prime Minister will visit those injured in the recent blast in Sorab. That tragic attack claimed multiple lives and left many wounded. PM Shehbaz will meet the victims, check on their recovery, and promise the government’s full support.
Balochistan has seen rising tensions in recent months. Attacks on civilians and security personnel have increased. This has created fear and instability in several districts.
The federal government has promised to end violence through a united approach. It plans to work closely with the provincial government and community leaders to defeat terrorism and bring lasting peace.
Officials see the Balochistan security jirga as a key step in building that peace. By bringing voices together at the same table, the law and order meeting aims to develop solutions for long-term security.
