Sir: Balochistan is already known in the entire region due to its geopolitical and strategic importance. Besides, there are many kinds of natural resources that can play a great role in the economic development of the country. Many countries have interests in the mineral resources of the land and want to use them according to their need. In addition, the recent discovery of gas in Zahreen Kahoor in the district of Pasni is great news and entails great value for Makran region. The discovery of gas can usher in a new era of development in the country. The benefits of this discovery must go to the locals of Balochistan. Furthermore, it has been proved that there are ample chances of a monumental discovery of gas and oil in Balochistan but due to some internal problems, its proper utilisation seems difficult. The government has to play an important role to resolve all critical issues and take the local population into confidence before utilising the mineral resources of the province. SHEZADI W B Turbat
