Hunger Rules in Balochistan A Political Crisis and a Human Tragedy Balochistan , a region rich in natural resources, is facing one of the gravest humanitarian crises in Pakistan today. Instead of improving, the standard of living in the province continues to deteriorate, leaving millions of people struggling for basic survival. Hunger has become a silent but devastating reality. According to Balochistan National Party (BNP-Mengal) leader Sana Baloch , the scale of food insecurity in Balochistan is the most severe in the country. He stated that in 2018–19, 15 percent of households in the province were suffering from severe food insecurity. Within just five years, this crisis has more than doubled . Today, over 38 percent of the population —nearly four million people —do not have access to the minimum food required for human survival. Hunger Is Not Natural — It Is Political Sana Baloch emphasized that this hunger is not the result of natural disasters but a political failure ....

Sachan painter   Sachan Painter: The Gwadar Balochistan Pakistan Artist Who Turned the Seashore into a Canvas In the coastal city of Gwadar , Balochistan , a young artist has emerged whose creativity has gone beyond traditional boundaries. Known as Sachan Painter , he has transformed the seashore into his canvas, creating breathtaking artworks on sand that have amazed people far beyond Gwadar. Temporary Art with a Lasting Impact Sachan Painter creates his art on the sand along the shoreline, using simple tools and his imagination. His artworks are temporary by nature—washed away by ocean waves within hours or even minutes.

This contrast between impermanence and impact is what makes his art truly powerful. From Ronaldo and Messi to Local Icons of Gwadar Among Sachan Painter’s most admired works are portraits of world-famous personalities such as:...

پرانا ملابند وارڈ کا وہ گلی جہاں سے سہارے قبرستان کے پانی کو نکالنے کی منصوبہ بندی ہورہی ہے  پرانا ملابند وارڈ گوادر کو ایک اور تباہی کے دہانے پر دھکیلنے کی تیاری —  گوادر ڈویلپمنٹ اتھارٹی جی ڈی اے اور حکومتی نمائندوں کی مجرمانہ غفلت پرانے ملابند وارڈ گوادر کے مکین برسوں سے بارشوں اور ناکارہ سیوریج سسٹم کے عذاب میں جیتے آئے ہیں، لیکن اس بار جی ڈی اے اور حکومتی نمائندے جس منصوبے پر کام کر رہے ہیں، وہ کھلی نااہلی، غفلت اور عوام دشمنی کی بدترین مثال ہے۔ پہلے قبرستان کا پانی مختلف راستوں سے ہو کر گزرتا تھا، جس سے محلے پر دباؤ کچھ حد تک تقسیم ہو جاتا تھا۔ مگر اب ملی بھگت کے تحت پانی کو زبردستی ایک ہی راستے میں دھکیلنے کی کوشش کی جا رہی ہے۔ یہ فیصلہ نہ صرف ناقابلِ فہم ہے بلکہ براہِ راست علاقے کے سینکڑوں گھروں کو خطرے میں ڈالنے کے مترادف ہے۔ حیرت کی بات یہ ہے کہ جن سیوریج لائنوں نے پہلے ہی ناکامی کے ریکارڈ قائم کر رکھے ہیں، انہی ٹوٹی پھوٹی، بند پڑی اور بوجھ سے ناکارہ لائنوں کے ذریعے قبرستان کا پانی گزارنے کی منصوبہ بندی کی جا رہی ہے۔ یہ فیصلہ کوئی غلطی نہیں، ایک مجرمانہ عمل ہے...

Gwadar’s Police Officers — Protectors of the Polio Mission, Yet Left Behind | A Message to WHO In the coastal city of Gwadar , polio eradication campaigns continue with dedication and hope. Alongside the brave health workers who go door to door, there stand police officers — the silent guardians who risk their lives to protect the teams in challenging and sometimes dangerous conditions. Yet, once each campaign ends, these police officers in Gwadar receive nothing in return — no allowance, no recognition, no words of appreciation. In contrast, in other districts of Balochistan, police personnel assigned to polio security duties are given at least some form of financial or honorary reward. The disparity is deeply unfair and disheartening. This issue isn’t just about money — it’s about acknowledgment of service and sacrifice . When those on the frontlines feel ignored, their morale and motivation suffer. And without them, no health campaign — no matter how well-organized — can truly su...

  گوادر کا پانی: اعلان یا حقیقت؟ گوادر کے شہری برسوں سے پینے کے صاف پانی کی قلت کا سامنا کر رہے ہیں۔ کبھی ڈیم خشک ہو جاتے ہیں، کبھی ٹینکر مافیا سرگرم ہو جاتی ہے اور کبھی حکومت صرف وعدوں اور اعلانات پر اکتفا کر لیتی ہے۔ حال ہی میں ایک اور "خوشخبری" سنائی گئی کہ چین کے مالی تعاون سے 1.2 ایم جی ڈی کا ڈیسالینیشن پلانٹ مکمل کر لیا گیا ہے، جو ہر ہفتے 70 سے 80 لاکھ گیلن پانی فراہم کرے گا۔ بظاہر یہ ایک شاندار پیشرفت ہے، لیکن سوال یہ ہے کہ کیا یہ صرف اعلان ہے یا عوام کو واقعی پانی مل رہا ہے؟ اعلانات پر سوالیہ نشان حکومت بلوچستان نے باضابطہ طور پر اس پلانٹ سے پانی خریدنے کی منظوری دے دی ہے، گوادر پورٹ اتھارٹی، نیسپاک اور چینی کمپنیوں نے اس منصوبے میں کردار ادا کیا ہے، لیکن زمینی حقیقت یہ ہے کہ ابھی تک عوام کو ایک بوند بھی نہیں ملی۔ عوام کا کہنا ہے کہ پانی دینے کا صرف اعلان کیا گیا ہے، وعدہ یا عملی فراہمی ابھی باقی ہے۔ خشک ڈیم اور پیاسے شہری انکرا، سواد اور شادی کور ڈیم بارشوں کی کمی کے باعث خشک ہو چکے ہیں، جس سے بحران شدت اختیار کر گیا ہے۔ ایسے میں ڈیسالینیشن پلانٹ کے اعلان نے...

آٹھ گھنٹے ڈیوٹی یا دوہرا نظام؟ دنیا بھر میں مزدور کے لئے روزانہ آٹھ گھنٹے ڈیوٹی کو معیاری تصور کیا جاتا ہے۔ انٹرنیشنل لیبر آرگنائزیشن (ILO) کے مطابق ایک ہفتے میں 48 گھنٹے سے زیادہ کام انسانی صحت کے لئے نقصان دہ ہے۔ لیکن سوال یہ ہے کہ کیا ہمارے ہاں، خصوصاً گوادر پولیس کے اہلکاروں کے لئے یہ معیار قائم ہے؟ کاغذوں میں تو لکھا ہے کہ پولیس اہلکار روزانہ آٹھ گھنٹے ڈیوٹی دیتے ہیں، مگر حقیقت اس کے برعکس ہے۔ گوادر جیسے حساس علاقے میں یہ سپاہی روزانہ 12 سے 16 گھنٹے مسلسل کام کرنے پر مجبور ہیں۔ نہ ڈیوٹی کی مقررہ حد کا خیال رکھا جاتا ہے اور نہ ہی انہیں باضابطہ چھٹیاں دی جاتی ہیں۔ یوں لگتا ہے جیسے وہ انسان نہیں، بلکہ مشینیں ہیں جنہیں دن رات چلتے رہنا ہے۔ یہ ایک کھلا تضاد ہے کہ بڑے شہروں، مثلاً اسلام آباد، لاہور اور کراچی میں پولیس کے لئے شِفٹ سسٹم موجود ہے، ہفتہ وار ریسٹ ڈے ملتا ہے اور اضافی الاؤنسز بھی دیے جاتے ہیں۔ لیکن بلوچستان کے سپاہی انہی حقوق سے محروم ہیں۔ کیا ان کی جان اور وقت کی کوئی قدر و قیمت نہیں؟ کیا یہ وہی ریاست نہیں جس کے آئین میں سب شہریوں کو برابر کے حقوق دینے کی ضمانت دی گئی ...

Death of a Humpback Whale in Gwadar: A Wake-Up Call from the Sea A rare and heartbreaking scene unfolded in the coastal waters of Gwadar , Balochistan, when local fishermen discovered the lifeless body of a humpback whale floating in the sea. Estimated to be around 16 meters long and weighing approximately 30,000 kilograms (30 tons) , the whale’s death is not just a tragedy for marine biodiversity — it's a symbol of a much deeper crisis. Humpback whales are among the world’s most endangered and elusive marine mammals , usually found in the deep and quieter parts of the ocean . Their presence in Pakistan’s coastal waters is rare, and their death here is alarming. 🐋 Not a Fish — A Mammal with Ancient Roots Despite being commonly referred to as a “fish,” a whale is biologically a mammal . It breathes air through lungs, gives birth to live young, and nurses them with milk — just like humans. What’s more fascinating is the fact that whales evolved from land-dwelling, carnivor...

Strengthening Healthcare in Balochistan: PPHI's 52nd Extraordinary General Meeting Marks Major Milestone Quetta, July 29, 2025 — A major stride in the healthcare sector of Balochistan was celebrated today as Munir Ahmed Badini chaired the 52nd Extraordinary General Meeting of the Board of Directors of PPHI Balochistan at the organization’s Head Office. At the heart of the discussions was a remarkable achievement: the successful operationalization of 164 newly taken-over Basic Health Units (BHUs) across the province. These BHUs are expected to greatly improve access to essential medical services in some of Balochistan’s most remote and underserved communities. “This is a significant milestone,” Chairman Badini remarked. “These BHUs are not just buildings—they represent access to health, hope, and dignity for our people.” The meeting brought together key stakeholders, including members of the Board of Directors, the Company Secretary, and representatives from the Health and Financ...

  Gwadar: The Sitting at Kocho Kalanch — A Quiet School of Wisdom That afternoon in Kocho Kalanch felt like time itself had paused for a breath. Beneath a humble thatched roof, on a simple mat, with steam rising gently from cups of tea, three elderly figures — Allah Dad , the hunter Dil Murad , and the ever-warm Murad Jan — came together to form a living portrait of heritage, memory, and sincerity. This wasn’t just an ordinary gathering. It was a rare moment when decades of wisdom, generations of tradition, and the earthy fragrance of Baloch culture merged into a silent harmony. It was a moment where nothing was spoken loudly, yet everything was deeply understood. Three Lamps Lighting One Gathering Allah Dad, with his dignified silence, spoke volumes without words. Dil Murad’s eyes reflected the solitude of the mountains and the thrill of his hunting stories. Murad Jan, with his cheerful tone and sweet nature, brought laughter and ease into every conversation. These three...
