Situation is getting better in our Balochistan slow and steadily. There are still some sectarianism problems but I think things are being changing now and our Balochistan will be back on economic track very soon InshaALLAH.

Good

for the security situation they should have a hotline/online setup so that citizens can report any people who are working against Pakistan because if they work against Pakistan they are directly working against the Baloch people too.....

they should all realize that dude to such people they have been left far behind and now its time to do it or else suffer more......but suffering is not an option

reporting and taking action could only help the people

together we work against those elements who are the enemies of our nation and brotherhood

I have alot of respect for the Baloch people as they have shown great co-operation and brotherhood even in their own hard times

long live Pakistan may Allah bless our country
