Balochistan

Balochistan has an eventful history dating back to the Stone Age. Recent research and archaeological excavations at Mehrgarh have revealed 9000 years old civilization. Human settlement pattern at Mehrgarh was unparalleled and unique, inaugurating the distinct shift from a hunting gathering to a settled life for the first time in human history.

In 1955, Balochistan was merged into one unit of West Pakistan. After the dissolution of one-Unit, Balochistan emerged as one of the four new provinces of Pakistan. Outside the influence of the Asian monsoon, most of the province is dry with continental extremes of heat and cold.

Quetta is the capital of Balochistan Provence. The Provence is very rich in oil & gas and also famous for its dry fruits production capicity although agriculture is limited by the scarcity of water, power, and adequate transportation facilities. Wheat, jowar (sorghum), and rice are the major food crops, and fruits are the principal cash crops. At a press conference in Quetta, Home Minister Sarfraz Bugti accused India’s prime minister of openly supporting terrorism.
