QUETTA: The District Coordination Committee of Nasirabad convened under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner Captain (R) Zulfiqar Ali Qarār to review ongoing and upcoming development initiatives under the Balochistan Social Development Initiative (BSDI).
The meeting brought together representatives of the Provincial Assembly, district department heads and officials from intelligence agencies, indicating broad institutional participation in the district’s development planning process.

Furthermore, Deputy Commissioner Qarār emphasized that the administration would maintain strict oversight of all development activities to ensure transparency and quality.
He noted that public resources are a trust that must be utilized responsibly and said there would be no compromise on standards at any stage of implementation. He further mentioned that the government’s priority is to ensure that development projects deliver meaningful and lasting relief to local communities.
Meanwhile, the meeting also focused on planning for Phase-II of BSDI, in which the district will prioritize smaller yet essential schemes.
