Any development update from Turbat, the second largest city of Balochistan and largest in Southern Balochistan ?
NEED OF SECOND URBAN CENTRE :
While the city of TURBAT, being the second largest city of Balochistan and largest in Southern Balochistan, should be made a major urban centre in the Southern Balochistan with a FIVE YEAR MASTER PLAN. Despite several political criticism on the previous Government it should be appreciated that the previous PML-N Government established a University & Medical College in Turbat, while the road infrastructure of the has been dramatically improved.
In order to further develop TURBAT into a major urban centre, following steps needs to be taken :
1. APS&C Campus
2. Cadet College
3. CMH of B class
4. Five Vocational training centres
5. State of Art hospital of 500 bed
6. Broadband, 4G and transmission lines
7. Road carpeting inside city.
8. Connection of Turbat with Iranian city of "Iranshahr" with a high class 2-LANE highway till the border, so the locals can do trade and get betterment in their economic situation.

Brand new University complex in Turbat , Balochistan...
Let's hope it does not get occupied by local Sardars as they love to occupy every government property.
Even worse, let's hope it remains safe from "Bum Phaar Khan Baloch" as they love blowing up every development project in Balochistan so that their "Rona Dhona" of no development in Balochistan can continue.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in collaboration with private sector partners inaugurated a water recycling plant at Byco service station in Quetta.
The newly installed water recycling system, a first-of-its-kind in Balochistan, is an extension of UNDP’s ongoing efforts to promote conservation and reuse of water in different sectors of the economy — including the car service sector.
The water recycling plant at Byco service station in Quetta was inaugurated by Mr. Ignacio Artaza, Resident Representative a.i., UNDP Pakistan together with representatives of Byco service station. “The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) place great emphasis on ensuring availability and sustainable management of water. Working together with the private sector, and by engaging multiple stakeholders, we aim to identify home-grown, low-cost, and innovative solutions to address these complex challenges faced by Balochistan province,” said Ignacio Artaza, Resident Representative a.i., UNDP.
Balochistan faces mounting challenges in terms of water availability. The province mostly depends on ground water sources to sustain its needs. Over the past decade or so, recurring droughts have caused intractable challenges with regards to water availability in the province. At car service stations, a standard car uses about 80 liters of water per wash, which directly leads to water wastage. Given these trends, water recycling plants at service stations can help conserve up to 60-70% of water for reuse.

Chinese-funded water project to help ease water shortage in Quetta, Pakistan
Source: Xinhua| 2019-07-22 10:19:02|Editor: Liangyu
QUETTA, Pakistan, July 22 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese Embassy in Pakistan has handed over a sustainable water project to Pakistan's southwest provincial capital Quetta as part of China's ongoing efforts to build more social development projects in the country.
Minister Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy Zhao Lijian on Sunday inaugurated the project of five ready-to-use solar-powered tube wells and gave it to Quetta's Water and Sanitation Authority (WASA), the sole water distributor in the provincial capital of the southwest Balochistan province.
Managing Director of WASA Mujeeb Ur Rehman Qambrani told Xinhua here that Quetta, with a population of 2.5 million people, is undergoing drinking water issues owing to rapid urbanization, increasing population growth and alarming underground water depletion.
During the handover ceremony, Zhao said the project is a gift from the Chinese Embassy for the people of Quetta, adding that several projects like the tube well program have already been started in different parts of Balochistan, especially in southwest Gwadar city.
Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan's Parliament Qasim Suri said that his hometown Quetta has been suffering from water shortage for the last several years. He appreciated China's quick response on the Pakistani side's request and established the tube wells.
A local businessman, Haji Jalil, told Xinhua that they had to spend a big portion of their incomes to buy water, but now he hoped that they would be able to save their money to spend on other needs.
