The Balochistan government has cancelled route permits for 11 buses allegedly involved in supporting anti-state activities, according to updates shared during a high-level meeting held on Thursday.
The meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti, focused on reviewing the progress of the Provincial Action Plan (PAP). During the briefing, Additional Chief Secretary for Home and Tribal Affairs, Zahir Saleem, disclosed that decisive action had been taken against certain transport companies whose vehicles were reportedly used to aid elements engaged in unlawful activities.
“These 11 buses had their permits revoked under PAP measures due to their involvement in activities that undermined the state,” said Saleem.

Additionally, Saleem revealed that action was also being taken against government employees found complicit in anti-state behavior.
In a separate development discussed during the same meeting, officials from the Education Department reported significant progress in the education sector. Over the past two months, 1,436 previously non-functional schools have been reopened. Furthermore, duty orders have been issued for 7,908 contract teachers, and appointment letters for an additional 3,500 educators are expected to be distributed soon.
These measures are part of a broader strategy to strengthen governance, education, and internal security in Balochistan.
