QUETTA: The Balochistan government has stopped work on Gwadar fence on the instructions of Chief Minister Jam Kamal, Home Minister Mir Zia Lango said on Tuesday.
The fencing move had come under strong criticism from the citizens of the port city.
Lango announced the decision in a news conference after attending an Open Kutcheri, adding that a parliamentary delegation would give its recommendation to the chief minister in this regard. He said that the government would address the reservations of the locals and move forward in consultation with the people of Gwadar.
The minister said that the concerns of the locals are more important for them. The provincial government, under the leadership of CM Kamal, is working for the progress and prosperity of the people, he added.
