BNP leader for streamlining petrol business in Balochistan.

ISLAMABAD -- BNP's member of the Balochistan Assembly Sana Ullah Balcoh Tuesday underlined the need for evolving a mechanism to streamline the business of petroleum products in the province.

A workable strategy was required to stop smuggling of petrol and bring the business under lawful channels as around 700,000 people were attached with it, he said while talking to reporter.

The Balochistan National Party (BNP) leader said only 30,000 people were directly engaged in the smuggling activity while the rest were indirectly involved.

Sana Ullah Baloch alleged that the provincial government seemed to have forgotten its promise of providing employment to the youth as no policy had so far been framed for the human resource sector.

Lack of job opportunities, he said, was creating anxiety among the youth, which might push them towards subversive activities.

He said the government should take initiatives for capacity building and technical training of the youth to facilitate them in getting employment at home and abroad. More vocational and technical training institutions should be set up in the province to equip the youth with modern skills, he added.

The BNP leader asked the provincial government to start construction work on the industrial zones to boost economic activities in the province.

The development projects initiated in remote areas should be completed within the stipulated time as they would help bring prosperity for the local people, he added.
