Situation in Sui normal now: Aziz
2005-01-19
Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said on Tuesday that the situation in Sui was normal and gas was being restored to all parts of the country. Talking to Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Yousaf about the province's situation, he expressed satisfaction over the situation in Balochistan, saying the government wanted to restore gas as soon as possible so that the province could earn GST and royalty and the lives of the people would improve. The leaders also talked about setting up an industrial zone in Gwadar with the prime minister saying that work on the project would start soon and it would generate employment opportunities for the people of the area. Progress on all current development projects in Gwadar, Quetta, Chaman, Zhob and other areas was also reviewed. Balochistan Finance Minister Ehsan Shah and Health Minister Hafiz Hamadullah accompanied Jam Yousaf.

Meanwhile, thousands of Baloch tribesmen armed with weapons reached Dera Bugti after the provincial government requested the federal government to deploy federal security forces in the area. A VOA report on Tuesday said that about 20,000 to 25,000 Bugtis reached the area after FC contingents were sent to Dera Bugti. Law enforcement agencies have set up checkpoints in Sui and are monitoring people movement.
Yep. That sounds pretty normal.
