Last year, Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) and the government come to an agreement, as the latter accepted all of the six points put forth by the opposition party.
According to an agreement, the govt announced to increase the quota of government jobs for Balochistan to 6 percent.
A committee had been formed on the issue on missing persons and some progress will be witnessed on the matter soon, the minister said.
The tube-wells in Balochistan will be run by solar energy, while the electricity will be provided on subsidy to the province, Khattak said.
It must be noted that the BNP-Mengal and PTI had signed a six-point memorandum of understanding (MoU) in August 2018 for an alliance at the Centre.
The BNP-M has four seats in the National Assembly.
