QUETTA: The Balochistan Assembly on Saturday approved the province’s supplementary budget of over Rs119 billion for the fiscal year 2025-26, without debate and without any cut motions being moved against the demands for grants.
Soon after the session began, with Speaker retired Captain Abdul Khaliq Achakzai in the chair, opposition members sought to debate the supplementary budget. However, Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti asked members to first approve the budget, saying discussion could take place later.
