Senior provincial and military leadership on Thursday agreed to revive and fully operationalise the long-delayed Safe City Project across Quetta and other strategic districts as part of a renewed push to strengthen security infrastructure in Balochistan.

The decision was finalised during the two-day 28th Defence Review Committee meeting, co-chaired by Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti and Corps Commander Lieutenant General Rahat Naseem Ahmed Khan.

Bringing together high-ranking officials from federal, provincial, and security agencies, the forum focused on aligning administrative and counter-terrorism efforts to safeguard local communities and protect key infrastructure.

​Addressing the participants, CM Bugti emphasised that these high-level review sessions now take place every three weeks to maintain momentum, address implementation bottlenecks, and hold institutions accountable for security outcomes.
