Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said the issues faced by the people of Balochistan would be resolved amicably and funds would be made available for the development and progress of the largest province.
Addressing a grand jirga of Balochistan, he said the four provinces were like brothers and would equally share resources of the country.
The federal government was spending Rs70 billion on the solarisation project in Balochistan, he said, adding Rs150 billion would be diverted for the building of highway N25 in Balochistan.

The funds would be acquired from the amount, which the government was collecting after the lowering down of prices of petroleum products in the international market.
The prime minister said the government would allocate Rs1,000 billion for the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) this year and 25% or Rs250 billion from the fund would be for projects in Balochistan.
He said federal funds were the right of people of Balochistan and every penny would be spent transparently on the progress and prosperity of the province.
