Press Release – Gwadar Press Club Condemns the Brutal Killing of Journalist Latif Baloch in Awaran Gwadar (Press Release): The Gwadar Press Club strongly condemns the brutal and cowardly murder of Latif Baloch, a senior journalist and representative of Daily Intekhab in Awaran. The club has expressed deep sorrow and grief over this tragic incident, calling it a serious attack on press freedom and a deliberate attempt to silence the voice of truth. In its statement, the Gwadar Press Club said that the killing of Latif Baloch, who was attacked inside his own home, clearly shows the failure of the Balochistan government and law enforcement agencies. This attack once again proves that speaking the truth in Balochistan is becoming a risk to one’s life. The President of the Gwadar Press Club said that Balochistan has long been one of the most dangerous regions for journalists. Not only are their lives at risk, but freedom of expression also faces constant pressure and threats. The statement added that brave and principled journalists like Latif Baloch cannot be silenced, and the voice of truth cannot be suppressed through fear. The Gwadar Press Club demands: 1. Immediate arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the murder of Latif Baloch. 2. Effective and practical measures to ensure the safety of journalists across Balochistan. 3. Swift and strict action against all those who pose a threat to journalism and press freedom. The Gwadar Press Club stands in solidarity with the family of Latif Baloch, fellow journalists in Awaran, and his media organization. The club reaffirmed its commitment to exposing any kind of injustice or oppression against journalists and vowed to continue the struggle for freedom of the press.

Gwadar: Member of the National Assembly (MNA) for Gwadar and Kech, Haji Malik Shah Gorgaij, visited the Gwadar Press Club during his recent tour of the district. He was accompanied by Chairman District Council Kech Mir Hothman, PPP leaders Mir Basheer Kalmati, Yousuf Faryadi, Sadiq Tajir, Majid Hussain, Afzal Jan, Imdad Khatri, and others. The delegation was warmly welcomed by Gwadar Press Club President Ismail Umer, former President Noor Mohsin, and other local journalists. During the visit, the Press Club leadership briefed MNA Gorgaij on the challenges they face, particularly the stalled construction of the new press club building. President Ismail Umer highlighted that although tenders for the new building were floated last year, rising material costs prevented contractors from taking on the project. As a result, the allocated funds lapsed, and the building remains incomplete. The journalists requested MNA Gorgaij to advocate for the inclusion of the press club’s building project in the upcoming Provincial Public Sector Development Program (PSDP). Responding positively, MNA Gorgaij assured the journalists that he would take up the matter with the provincial government to secure the required funds. He praised the journalists of Gwadar for their commitment to constructive and responsible journalism, acknowledging their role in highlighting public issues and contributing to community development. He also pledged his ongoing support for the press community in his capacity as a public representative. While touring various parts of Gwadar, MNA Gorgaij also reviewed several ongoing and proposed development projects. He announced multiple federally funded schemes across the district, including: A mini-dam in Ormara Saeedabad with a budget of Rs. 300 million, aimed at resolving the area’s drinking water issues permanently. A Rs. 280 million drinking water scheme for Jiwani. Road construction in Gwadar’s Faqir Colony funded at Rs. 100 million. A jetty project worth Rs. 5 billion in Ormara Hud, with funds secured through the GLLSP. Plans to construct another jetty in Jiwani soon. Installation of solar panels for households throughout Gwadar district. Upcoming projects through the Public Health Department, including a solar-powered pumping system in Kalato Santsar. MNA Gorgaij reiterated his commitment to addressing public grievances and pushing for comprehensive development in Gwadar and Kech. He assured that efforts are underway to lay the groundwork for sustainable infrastructure and utility services across the region. Published News Desk Gwadar Press Club.
