The chief minister said Balochistan should get its full share of the NFC award.

QUETTA (Dunya News) – Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal on Monday warned against reducing the province’s share in the National Finance Commission (NFC) award.

Talking to reporters after the inauguration of Naya Pakistan Housing Programme, Jam Kamal said the government will expand the ambitious scheme to other cities of the province.

The chief minister said Balochistan should get its full share of the NFC award as it is under-developed and faces an economic crisis which needs to be addressed immediately.

He said that no such proposal to separate Makran from Gwadar is being considered, adding that previous governments did not take Balochistan into confidence on key issues.
