CM Bugti Advocates Smaller Administrative Units for Effective Governance

QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti emphasized the importance of establishing smaller administrative units to enhance governance and ensure that government services reach citizens effectively. Speaking at a press conference in North Dera Bugti on Friday, he outlined his vision for a more accessible civil administration.

Bugti highlighted that the development of Rakhni as a model division is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the province’s development landscape. He noted that the creation of new provinces should be accompanied by the establishment of smaller divisions and districts, facilitating public access to essential services.

The Chief Minister pointed out that while the national conversation on smaller administrative units has only recently gained traction, he initiated efforts on this front two years ago, driven by the unique needs of Balochistan’s populace. He also announced that all divisional posts for the newly proposed Koh-i-Suleman Division have been approved, with appointments expected soon.

Bugti’s remarks come at a time when the provincial government is also addressing security concerns, having recently praised security forces for thwarting an attack aimed at a construction company in Gwadar. The establishment of smaller administrative units is seen as a crucial step towards improving governance and public service delivery in the region.
