Author: Staff Report

Quetta: An 11-member interim Balochistan cabinet took oath on Tuesday.

Those who took the oath administered by Governor Muhammad Achakzai were Malik Inayat, Nasarullah Khiljee, Farzana Baloch, Naveed Kalmati, Hafiz Khaleel Ahmed, Manzoor Hussain, Imam Bakhsh, Abdul Salam Khan, Agha Umer Bangulza, Khurram Shehzad, and Faizullah Kakar. On June 7, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had appointed Alauddin Marri as the caretaker chief minister of the province, after a parliamentary committee formed to evolve consensus on a name for the office failed to do so. Marri, who belongs to Mastung district, was recommended by the former provincial government, which had also proposed the name of Sardar Shaukat Popalzai. The Balochistan Assembly stood dissolved on June 1, after completing its five-year term.
