The Committee while discussing Starred question  moved by Agha Hasan Baloch, MNA regarding non implementation of provincial quota of Baluchistan referred to it by the House, observed that there was general impression that provincial quota was not been implemented resulting in generation of feeling of deprivation amongst youth in the province. The Committee asked the Establishment Division to provide details of recruitments made against Baluchistan quota during last three years. The Committee also decided to get the said data verified from NADRA so as to know whether the people recruited were genuinely from Baluchistan or otherwise.

The Committee further observed that two Constitutional Amendment Bills moved by Ms. Aliya Kamran and Mr. Salah Uddin Ayubi MNAs were pending with the committee for disposal since it’s inception.

The Committee  directed Establishment Division to bring a comprehensive proposal of restructuring of the Organisation in next meeting of the Committee.
