The statement was made during a visit to the Basima area, where the Corps Commander met with local residents, including traders, teachers, community leaders, and youth representatives.
During the engagement, local residents expressed their appreciation for the Corps Commander’s direct outreach, calling the meeting a positive step toward addressing community issues and fostering cooperation between the military and local stakeholders.
Speaking to the community, the Quetta Corps Commander emphasized that the Pakistan Army continues to work closely with civil authorities to advance ongoing development initiatives. These projects aim to improve living standards, provide essential services, and enhance the overall quality of life for the people of Balochistan.
The Corps Commander categorically rejected negative propaganda being spread by terrorist groups under foreign patronage, highlighting that these elements seek to deprive the local population of developmental benefits and destabilize peace in the region. He stressed that terrorist attempts to sabotage projects are part of a wider strategy by hostile actors to create unrest and obstruct progress.
He further stated: “Terrorists, operating under Indian sponsorship, are targeting Balochistan’s developmental projects to deprive our people of a better life.
