Balochistan Home Minister Sarfraz Bugti Friday said that the annual provincial budget session had been postponed until May 14 as he sought more time to present a “comprehensive budget”. Talking to media persons, Bugti said that the planning and development department had not been prepared to present the budget. “Minor issues – delay in printing – were the reasons behind the delay,” he said. He added that the provincial government intended to present a comprehensive budget and that’s the reason behind the delay in its presentation. Sarfraz denied that there were any disagreements between the stakeholders that led to the postponement. Published in Daily Times, May 12th 2018.
