The Chief Minister reaffirmed his commitment to further strengthen transparency and governance in Balochistan, ensuring that every school and hospital functions effectively to provide essential services to the public. He emphasized that improved attendance of doctors and teachers is a clear indicator of an accountable and responsive governance system.
