The Balochistan government has revoked route permits for 11 buses reportedly used in support of anti-state activities, officials revealed during a high-level meeting on Thursday.
The meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti, reviewed progress under the Provincial Action Plan (PAP). According to Additional Chief Secretary for Home and Tribal Affairs, Zahir Saleem, action has been taken against certain government employees allegedly involved in anti-state actions.
The meeting was informed that multiple transport companies had their buses banned after being found to have aided such elements.
“These 11 buses had their permits cancelled under PAP measures due to their involvement in unlawful support activities,” Saleem told the meeting.
During the same meeting, officials from the Education Department provided a separate update, stating that 1,436 previously closed schools have reopened within the past two months. Additionally, duty orders have been issued for 7,908 contract teachers, with appointment letters for 3,500 more expected soon.
