Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti co-chaired a high-level security conference in Quetta on Saturday, approving a comprehensive master plan aimed at dismantling terrorist networks and modernising the province's law enforcement apparatus. During the meeting, CM Bugti presented a detailed operational briefing on Balochistan's security situation, outlining the province's current security baseline, tactical measures, and long-term counter-insurgency strategies. The federal government pledged comprehensive logistical, technical and financial support to strengthen the Balochistan Police and the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), with plans to equip both forces with modern equipment and advanced intelligence systems.
Naqvi said lasting peace could only be achieved by leveraging modern technology, integrating real-time intelligence, and benefiting from the experience and guidance of veteran police commanders. He stressed that the federal and provincial governments were fully aligned in their efforts to improve the province's security situation. Chief Minister Bugti reiterated that the state would establish its writ without compromise or hesitation and would leave no space for armed groups to operate.
He also outlined a dual-track strategy where security operations would be complemented by initiatives aimed at youth development. These measures include merit-based employment opportunities, vocational training and educational programmes designed to promote social stability and accelerate economic growth across Balochistan. The conference concluded with both the federal and provincial leadership reaffirming their commitment to strengthening law enforcement capabilities and implementing the approved master plan to enhance security across the province.
