QUETTA: Haji Muhammad Ibrahim Khan Noorzai, President, Balochistan Darts Association (BDA), has said that residents of Pushtunabad, a dense populated area of Quetta city, are confronting multiple problems, including low gas pressure and unannounced power load-shedding.

Noorzai said that in his election campaign, Qasim Suri had promised to announce special development package for the development of Pushtunabad, but Qasim Suri has not yet fulfilled his promise despite lapse of considerable period of time.

He said that low gas pressure and un-announced power load-shedding have added to the miseries of the dwellers this backward area of Quetta city. He called on Prime Minister, Imran Khan, Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo and Chief Secretary Balochistan, Mathar Niaz Rana to announce special development package for Pushtunabad so that sufferings of the people of that backward area of Quetta city could be alleviated.
