QUETTA: Provincial Adviser on Sports and Youth Affairs Meena Majeed Baloch met Inspector General of Police Balochistan Muhammad Tahir Hayat in his office. They discussed the security of transporters in Makran Division, particularly in Kech district and the newly created Tump district, and the recruitment of local youth into the police.

During the meeting, Meena Majeed Baloch condemned the alleged extortion of traders and transporters by banned organisations, and the burning of vehicles of those who refused to pay.

On the occasion, IG Police Balochistan Muhammad Tahir Hayat assured her that all available resources would be used to protect traders and transporters, act against those involved in extortion, and make security arrangements more effective.
