Quetta:In a landmark move, the Balochistan government has released Rs50 billion in development funds on the very first day of the new fiscal year 2025–26, marking an unprecedented step in the province’s financial history. The Finance Department issued the official notification shortly after midnight on July 1, ensuring immediate activation of development projects across the province.

The decision reflects the vision of Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti and the swift implementation efforts led by Chief Secretary Balochistan, Shakeel Qadir Khan.
