Situation can be improved in Balochistan: Magsi

QUETTA: Governor Balochistan Nawab Zulfiqar Magsi has expressed optimism that the situation can be improved in Balochistan if the public voted for good people in the upcoming general elections.

"Nationalists participation would have positive impacts on the province," Nawab Zulfiqar Magsi told Dawn.com.

He said participation of Baloch and Pashtun nationalists parties would help in improvement of situation in the province.

He however said that there was a law and order problem in only four to five districts of Balochistan.

The Balochistan governor said there was no possibility of army's involvement in political affairs of the country.

"People must come forward and use their votes to strengthen democracy," he added.

Regarding Gwadar Deep Sea Port Project, he said the mega project would boost economic activities and create job opportunities in Balochistan.
