QUETTA: The Balochistan Assembly is set to reconvene today (Monday) at 3:00 pm after a two-day recess.
During the session, Jamaat-e-Islami’s lawmaker, Maulana Hidayat ur Rehman Baloch, will raise a call-attention notice regarding the prolonged suspension of electricity supply from Iran to the Makran region, particularly the Gwadar district. The region has been facing persistent power outages for several months, causing severe inconvenience to residents and businesses.
In a separate notice, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam’s Syed Zafar Ali Agha will draw attention to the need for upgrading the Rural Health Centre in Tehsil Haramzai (District Pishin) to the status of a Tehsil Headquarters Hospital, citing the growing healthcare needs of the area’s population.
The assembly is also expected to present and review several key legislative bills aimed at improving public services and governance in the province. These include:
- The Protection Against Harassment of Women at Workplace Bill 2025 (Bill No. 16 of 2025)
- The Balochistan Health Institutions Reforms Bill 2025 (Bill No. 20 of 2025)
- The Balochistan Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases Bill 2025 (Bill No. 21 of 2025)
- The Balochistan Institute of Child Health Services Quetta Bill 2025 (Bill No. 22 of 2025)
- The Balochistan Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response Bill 2025 (Bill No. 23 of 2025)
Standing committee reports on these bills will also be presented for discussion.
Moreover, the much-anticipated Balochistan Levies Force Bill 2025 (Bill No. 28 of 2025) will be tabled before the House, which is expected to spark debate given the force’s critical role in provincial security and law enforcement.
During the question hour, members will receive written responses from the Departments of Excise & Taxation, Social Welfare, and the Quetta Development Authority (QDA) on issues raised in previous sessions.
