On September 30, Prime Minister Imran Khan admitted that Balochistan province has been neglected for a long time and suffers from worryingly high levels of poverty, reports Geo TV. He passed the observation while addressing the signing ceremony for the award of contracts by Universal Service Fund (USF) for the provision of voice and high speed mobile broadband data in Balochistan and Sindh. He said that the area from where Sui gas was supplied to all over the country is itself extremely underdeveloped and is no better than one from the stone ages. "This lop-sided development has a very negative impact on society," he said.
