“Many a qualified people, who would otherwise be unable to apply for the positions, applied and get a job via Balochistan Public Service Commission Quetta,” another jobless youth aged 35 said adding these people would forever be indebted to the government who allowed thousands of youth to compete in various exams.

Dawood Shahwani, reaching the maximum age limit said that “the date of the decree issued by the former CM has recently expired which has created a great turmoil among youth seeking government jobs.

“Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizinjo may kindly extend the notification for further 5 years,” he requested.
