Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reached Quetta on Thursday for a day-long visit where he will chair a meeting regarding the law and order situation, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said.
In a post on X, the PMO said the premier was welcomed by Balochistan Governor Jaffar Khan Mandokhail, Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti and senior civil and military officials.
“The prime minister will chair a high-level meeting regarding the law and order situation,” it said.
Economic Affairs Minister Ahad Khan Cheema, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar and PM’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah are accompanying the premier on the visit.
PM Shehbaz’s visit comes a day after the military revealed that at least 42 people — the majority of who were security and law enforcement personnel — have lost their lives in terrorist attacks and subsequent operations in Balochistan since July 5.
