Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfaraz Bugti reaffirmed his commitment to addressing the province's challenges through consultation and consensus. Speaking after an informal meeting with prominent political figures, CM Bugti emphasised that the provincial government would work diligently to meet the expectations of the people. The meeting, held in a cordial atmosphere, included former chief minister Nawab Sanaullah Khan Zehri, Senate members Mir Abdul Qudous Bizenjo and Samina Zehri, and newly-elected MPA Mir Ali Hasan Zehri. Discussions focused on Balochistan's political and social issues, law and order, and public welfare. Earlier, during the Balochistan Assembly session, Speaker Captain (R) Khaliq Achakzai administered the oath to Mir Ali Hasan Zehri as the new MPA from Hub. During the session, former chief minister Nawab Aslam Raisani voiced concerns about unnecessary security checks at military posts. "The people of Balochistan are facing undue harassment at security check posts. These practices must end to restore public confidence." Responding to the concern, CM Bugti assured the assembly of immediate action, "We are committed to ensuring that unnecessary check posts are removed. The security forces will be directed to address these grievances without compromising public safety." The assembly also discussed key issues, including the kidnapping of 10-year-old Muhammad Musawir Khan, underscoring the urgent need for improved law enforcement. "Our government will spare no effort in ensuring the safety and well-being of the people of Balochistan. Every challenge will be tackled with a collaborative approach." Check posts in Balochistan, established primarily for security purposes, have become a source of inconvenience for residents, travelers, and businesses. Frequent stops at these posts often result in prolonged delays, especially on major highways connecting cities and regions. This disrupts the movement of goods, increasing transportation costs and hindering trade in an already economically challenged province.

The New York Jets will have another formidable matchup against a division leader when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday coming out of their bye week. Aside from their offensive line, the Jets' offense has stayed relatively healthy this season, especially when it comes to their starting weapons. However, they could be missing of the of their few bright spots on Sunday. © Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports Running back Breece Hall, who has averaged five yards-per-carry the last four weeks, missed practice on Wednesday with a knee injury. His status for Sunday is currently uncertain. If Hall, who leads the team with 1,033 scrimmage yards, isn't able to play on Sunday, the Jets will likely turn to rookie Braelon Allen to be the "emergency'' plan to carry the team's run game. Allen, who is the youngest active player in the NFL at 20-years-old, has shown flashes of potential throughout his rookie year as both a running and receiving threat. Related: Should Jets Let Aaron Rodgers Decide Future with Team? He's currently second on the team in rushing behind Hall with 229 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Aside from Hall, he is the only other player on the roster that has a rushing touchdown this season. In Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, Allen brought in both a rushing and a receiving touchdown. He was then named the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for his performance in one of the Jets' few wins this season. While New York's playoff chances are extremely slim this late in the season, it would still be nice for Allen to have a great performance with the team beginning to look towards their future.
