Balochistan Government Establishes Safe City Authority Initiative

On February 25, 2026, the Balochistan government announced the establishment of a modern Safe City Authority aimed at enhancing security and technological infrastructure across the province. Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti emphasized the urgency of the project, stating, "Completing the Safe City projects will help reduce crime rates, improve traffic management, enhance emergency response times, and strengthen coordination among law enforcement agencies." This initiative follows the successful implementation of similar systems in Punjab, making Balochistan the second province to adopt such measures. The government is committed to removing obstacles to expedite progress, with state-of-the-art surveillance cameras set to be installed in major cities. This development is seen as a significant milestone for the province, reflecting a proactive approach to public safety and urban management.
