Interacting with representatives of the civil administration, the field marshal highlighted the need for good governance, infrastructure development, and the importance of inclusive, people-centric progress.

“He emphasized the significance of joint civil-military efforts in addressing the challenges faced by the people of Balochistan,” the army’s military wing said.

“The Pakistan Army stands shoulder to shoulder with the people of Balochistan in their pursuit of peace, prosperity, and sustainable development,” the press release quoted the COAS as saying.

Pakistan has seen a surge in terrorist activities, particularly in the regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

Earlier, ISPR Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry suggested residents of Balochistan to expose terrorists and their facilitators, adding the security forces must work together with the people and administration of Balochistan in this regard.

DG ISPR Chaudhry said the local people are standing up and must do so against terrorism and they are now identifying terrorists and their facilitators.

“They are fed up and weary of these terrorists. Visit Balochistan and see how wise and forward-thinking the Baloch people are,” he noted.

The DG ISPR reminded that every day, Pakistani officers, soldiers, and civilians are sacrificing their lives to keep the country free.
