GOOD 2 Developing Work in Balochistan

Associated Press of Pakistan

QUETTA: Balochistan Minister for Communication and Works (C&W) Muhammad Sadiq Umrani Saturday said that Zhob-Qamar Din Karez road is an important highway, which is expected to be completed by December 2010.

Replying to a question during assembly session, the minister said that the construction quality of the road is up to the mark and the concerned chief engineers have visited and examined the quality four times since July 2005.

To another question, the minister said that tenders of Barak Shaz Badini road were floated on directives of the provincial government despite the fact that this road was not part of the approved PC-I of the ECNEC. He said that work order of the said road had been halted due to lack of funds.

He said that some 12 villages of district Jaffarabad would benefit from 16.5 kilometres long Shah Wah road in tehsil Sohbatpur. The road is being constructed by Ms Karamullah Government Contractors. The company has been paid Rs. 348 million for the project.

The minister assured that quality of construction and all the appointments and transfer and posting would be made on merit in the department. Speaker Balochistan Assembly Muhammad Aslam Bhotani who was chairing the session of the assembly adjourned the house till November 11.

woow so many years to built just a road

Slow and steady :cheers:

so many years they must bot be using any kind of machineary only with labour and khota power

IT's a highway, not a road. Also, since it sounds as if it's a new road and not repair work, I don't think there's much wrong with taking that much time. FK, were you in Karachi between 97-99? It took almost 2 years to repair Shaheed-e-Millat Road. Remember??? The work started when I was in O levels, and ended when I was about to finish my A levels.

QUETTA: President Asif Ali Zardari announced on Friday a development package of Rs46.6 billion for Balochistan.

Speaking to tribal elders and notables at the Governor’s House, he said that Rs36 billion would be spent on building four big dams and Rs2.5 billion on delay action dams in the province.

An amount of Rs3 billion will be spent on development of Quetta and Rs5 billion on laying two high-power transmission lines.

The president said the government would not allow militants to use Balochistan for terrorist activities.

‘The best way of achieving rights is democracy, which is in the interest of every Pakistani,’ the president said, adding that the government would take all steps to develop Balochistan and bring it on a par with other provinces.

He said grievances of the Baloch had been misused in the past and assured the elders that the government would address all problems now.

Later President Zardari, speaking at a press conference, said he had directed the provincial government to set up a parliamentary committee of its coalition partners to start talks with Baloch resistance groups in order to bring them into the mainstream.

He did not agree with a questioner that a general amnesty would help in resolving the Balochistan issue, recalling that amnesty had been given thrice in the past, but had not produced any positive result.

‘We want a durable solution to the problems and need efforts to find out such solution.’ Mr Zardari said problems that had accumulated over 60 years could not be solved in six months.

He said he had asked partners in the ruling coalition to prepare a resolution on issues being faced by Balochistan, discuss it in the provincial assembly and then send it to the federal government for necessary legislation.

‘My government won’t hesitate to make constitutional amendments in the light of legislators’ recommendations to solve problems of the province.’

The president said the PPP-led government was committed to alleviating the misery of Balochistan and removing the sense of deprivation.

In reply to question about missing people, Mr Zardari said the governor and the chief minister had been asked to set up a committee to review the list.

About the kidnapped UN official, John Solecki, Mr Zardari said the interior ministry was in touch with the provincial authorities and the issue would be resolved soon.

The president said the government had distributed Rs2.3 billion among the people hit by last year’s earthquake in Balochistan, assuring the affected that their grievances would be redressed.

REVISION OF QUETTA MASTER PLAN (Urban Planning):

In the Urban planning context, future growth, form and direction of the City has been visualized up to the year 2008. Major zoning and land uses have been identified and recommendations made for housing, education, medical care and public utilities etc.

In pursuance of recommendations of Quetta Master Plan, the Bus / Truck Stand, Garrages, Crate / Bardana Market, Fruit & Vegetable Market, Bakra Piri, Slaughter House, Oil Depots, Coal Plots, had been shifted from the heart of Quetta City.

The shifting of Dairy Farms, Skin / Hide Market, Iron and Timber Depots, Show-rooms are in hand to the suburbs of Quetta City. This will result in removal of road congestion and improvement of urban environments.

(Long Term Planning) Existing Quetta Master Plan ended in 2008. The plan requires up-dating for next twenty years i.e. up to 2028. A summary has been moved on 31st May 2010 to Provincial Government for approval and engagement of a consultancy. Futuristic plans of departments / agencies are being collected to prepare basic parameters of the Plan.
