SANJAWI, Nov 2, 2025 — Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti has said that the provincial government’s decision to merge Levies with the police is crucial for ensuring lasting peace, security, and good governance across the province.
Speaking at a large public gathering in Sanjawi, hosted by Provincial Minister for Food Haji Noor Muhammad Dumar, CM Bugti said that although the B-Area to A-Area conversion appears unpopular to some quarters, it is a necessary step for long-term stability and effective law enforcement in Balochistan.
“The merger of Levies into the police force is not just a reform — it is a foundation for a safer and more stable Balochistan,” Bugti remarked. He added that the provincial government is committed to creating professional, accountable, and modern policing systems throughout the province.
Highlighting other major development initiatives, CM Bugti announced that the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital Sanjawi will be expanded into a 20-bed fully functional hospital under a public-private partnership, ensuring better healthcare services for the people of the region.
He further announced two new buses for the boys’ and girls’ colleges in Sanjawi, and the construction of an administrative complex to improve government service delivery.
Focusing on education, Bugti said that 14 inactive schools in Sanjawi and Ziarat are being reactivated and will reopen after the winter break. He emphasized that teacher recruitment will be based on merit, ensuring improved standards of education in remote areas.
To strengthen law and order, the Chief Minister announced the establishment of four new police stations and reaffirmed his government’s commitment to fair resource utilization for public welfare.
Bugti also addressed local development demands, announcing the resolution of Sanjawi’s land settlement issue and the construction of the Sanjawi Bypass Road. He said that the proposal to upgrade Sanjawi to district status is under active consideration and will be prioritized in upcoming administrative reforms.
The Chief Minister also declared that new blocks and four buses will be provided to the Quaid-e-Azam Cadet College Sanjawi, enabling students to benefit from improved academic and transport facilities.
The event was attended by provincial ministers, parliamentary secretaries, senior civil officers, tribal elders, and a large number of local residents, reflecting strong public support for the government’s vision for peace and progress in Balochistan.
