National Assembly's Standing Committee on Information and Broadcasting has expressed satisfaction on the strategy chalked out by state broadcasters to counter anti-state narrative in Balochistan and frontier regions of the country.      

Meeting of the committee was held in Islamabad with Pullain Baloch, MNA in the chair.  

The committee stressed for further enhancing outreach of state radio and television in Balochistan and frontier regions apart from highlighting governments achievement in development sector and through youth and public engagement.

Addressing the meeting, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar highlighted the recent steps initiated in PTV for making it more vibrant and self-sustaining.

The NA body directed Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation to revise renting rates of all its tenants bringing them to the market rates.

The committee was of the view that the financial health of Radio Pakistan warranted immediate measures enabling the state broadcaster to continue its operation and payment of salaries to its employees.
