Balochistan prioritises security with new action plan

QUETTA: The Balochistan government has decided to develop a provincial action plan to significantly enhance governance and security across the province.

Balochistan Chief Secretary Shakeel Qadir Khan on Wednesday briefed a high-level meeting, presided over by Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti, on the proposed plan.

The chief secretary said that a comprehensive strategy is being developed to effectively counter terrorism, crime, extortion and smuggling cases with a focus on enhancing enforcement measures.

The implementation of this action plan is likely to bring substantial improvements in governance and security in Balochistan.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Bugti emphasised the importance of integrating modern technology into the plan. He also stressed the need for strengthening the professional capacity of law-enforcement agencies to combat terrorism and crime effectively.

He said profiling of criminals should be conducted for closer monitoring and all security agencies must coordinate to ensure efficient information sharing about criminals, suspects and convicts.

He said a clear and decisive strategy would be put in place to eradicate terrorism and crime without hesitation, pledging the provision of necessary resources to law enforcement agencies while expecting tangible results in return.

24 Furious Feline Pawsts for Overtired Office Workers Who Want to Scream at Their Boss

At a certain point of pressure, things begin to crack. There is no stopping it, it is simply a law of nature. And us hoomans are not exempt from this natural law both on a physical level and a mental level.

But all that pressure has to go somewhere, lest it explodes in your chest. So we went ahead and made this list of furious feline pawsts for overtired office workers who want to scream at their boss.

From the cracked cat who has been broken by the pressure that has been placed upon it and is now bouncing around the bathtub, to the calloused kitten who knows that life is hard, but is determined to be harder, to the buff feline who would 100% take down any boss that looks at him the wrong way.

A Hissterical Helping of Cool Cat Snaps Creating Christmas Morning Meowgic With Huggable Holiday Hilariousness

Ah, the meowliday season. The smell of turkeys in the oven, the cozy warmth of the fireplace, and our cats actually wanting to snuggle with us because there's a chill in the air (little do they know that we keep the thermostat low for this very specific purrrpose). These last two months of the year are filled with feline festivities, purrfect presents, and meowliday cheer. Even though we're still more than a month away from Christmas, we wanted to give you an early present, one that keeps on giving no matter what state you're reading this in: hissterical cat snaps.

These silly snaps may remind you of the meowgic you feel when opening up presents on Christmas morning. But who needs Christmas to enjoy huggable holiday hilariousness? At I Can Has Cheezburger, we think that you should be feline pawsitively pleasant every day, so get on your comfiest jammies and run downstairs faster than a cat with zoomies to open up these cool cat snaps (giggle all meowrning long).
