ISLAMABAD: Balochistan has asked the centre to increase its share in Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) in the upcoming budget 2015-16.
Balochistan Chief Minister Abdul Malik Baloch raised this demand during a meeting with Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar here in Islamabad. Speaking on the occasion, Finance Minister said the Federal government fully supported development activities in all the provinces. However, the Ministry of Planning and Development and the National Economic Council were the right forum to take a decision regarding increase in PSDP share, Dar added.
Ishaq Dar has assured the Balochistan chief minister that compensation to the Mirani Dam affectees would be duly paid and the matter, which remained totally neglected by the previous regimes during the last eight years, would finally be resolved by the PML-N Government.
