Ayesha Zehri has been appointed as the first female Deputy Commissioner in Balochistan's history, taking charge in the Awaran district. This appointment marks a significant milestone for women in leadership roles within the province's administration.
Awaran, known for its agricultural importance, has been one of the areas most affected by terrorism in Balochistan. Zehri has expressed her commitment to combating terrorism and improving security in the region. She has already demonstrated her resolve by actively participating in operations against Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) militants.
In addition to security concerns, Zehri has prioritized addressing the issues faced by residents in underdeveloped areas of Awaran. Following the Chief Minister's directives, she has conducted successful open courts in various tehsils of the district to hear and address public grievances.
Zehri's appointment and her proactive approach to both security and development issues represent a new chapter in Balochistan's administrative landscape. Her efforts to balance security measures with public welfare initiatives are being closely watched as a potential model for other troubled districts in the province.
