The minister said: “The district headquarters of Chagai, Dalbandin city, is being developed under a master plan where government institutions’ buildings, sports complex, link roads, public parks, polytechnic college and double carriage of Faisal Colony bypass will be built in the first phase. Besides several development schemes have been completed in Dalbandin and other areas.”

He said provision of jobs to the qualified youths in different government departments were also the main priorities of the government and hundreds of unemployed people in Chagai would be given jobs in the coming months.
