QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Sanaullah Zehri has called for early completion of ‘Quetta Safe City Project’ and warned against compromising on quality of work.

This he said while presiding over a meeting on Friday which was attended, among others, by IG Police Ahsan Mehboob, Balochistan Board of Investment vice chairman Humayun Nizami, Home Secretary Dr Akbar Harifal and Secretary Information Technology.

The IT director general informed the participants that tender process and legal issues were being communicated to participants for installation of 1,400 cameras in the city in the first phase.

The chief minister citing the war-like situation in the fight against terrorism said that besides capacity-building of the security forces, stemming terrorism through information technology too was important. Similar projects would be initiated in other big cities also, he added.
