Noor Muhammad Dumar, the provincial minister for planning and development, had his services terminated by the Balochistan government on Tuesday due to his attendance at a National Economic Council (NEC) meeting.

As a result of the federation’s “non-cooperative attitude” towards the province, Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo had skipped the NEC meeting.

Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo announced this in a statement.

This decision was made earlier by the Balochistan administration in retaliation for what it saw as the federal government’s “non-cooperative attitude” towards the province. Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo, the chief minister, made the declaration.
