Funds sought for Reko Diq project

Reko Diq Mining Company has expressed concern over the government's inability to comply with obligations under the Security Services Framework Agreement (SSFA) and a memorandum of understanding (MoU). Sources said that the government's failure to meet obligations under the SSFA and MoU forced Reko Diq Mining company to incur additional costs of $390,000. The Prime Minister's Office has requested timely disbursement of the amounts deposited by the mining company to Frontier Corps Balochistan (South). The Interior Division, in a recent meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC), said that the Frontier Corps Balochistan (South) was engaged in various tasks such as border control. Its task was also to ensure internal security and maintain law and order in its area of responsibility. The force was also tasked with apprehending illegal immigrants and countering terrorist activities, including securing the Reko Diq project.
