In his address, PM Imran Khan assured the people of Balochistan that his government will divert funds to the province despite the financial constraints being faced.
The premier also told the folks that the federal will discuss the expansion of insurance , almost like the one introduced in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with the Balochistan government.
"After Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the govt is expanding the network of insurance per household in Punjab and Gilgit Baltistan. an equivalent would be discussed with the coalition government of Balochistan," said the PM Imran.
The prime minister vowed that his government is concentrated on bringing a "revolution of prosperity in Balochistan" by introducing projects that specialise in infrastructure and human development.
"Balochistan has been neglected within the past and therefore the [PTI] government will take every step to minimise the suffering of the locals," said PM Imran.

The PM said that if such major steps were taken within the past then the country would are better developed.
The premier blamed "elite capture" for the economic divide within the society and stressed the necessity for a model of development for all, regardless of rich or poor.
"Balochistan suffered apathy of previous rulers who ignored the province. But my ideology focuses on making Pakistan rise by uplifting its weaker segments," said PM Imran Khan.
On the opposite hand, Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan, in his address, said that within the last 15 years, the previous governments left several development projects unfinished. He added that his government is concentrated on completing those projects.
He also highlighted the necessity to reinforce the connectivity of Quetta with Naseerabad and Sibi via dualisation to facilitate farmers and traders from adjoining areas.
Earlier, the PM was briefed on the general situation of Balochistan and therefore the development projects.
The premier was in Quetta to inaugurate the development of a 162-kilometre Ziarat Harnai road, the 23-kilometre dualisation of Quetta Western Bypass (N-25) and therefore the construction of an 11-kilometre Dera Murad Jamali Bypass (N-65).
