QUETTA - Quetta Development Authority (QDA) was considering to shift dairy farms from urban areas to Sibi-Quetta road under the new master plan of provincial capital to develop the city on modern lines.

Currently around 270 dairy farms were existing in Quetta city which would be shifted to Sibi-Quetta road, 37 kilometers away from the city, an official said. On the directions of Balochistan government, QDA had executed 150 acres land for the purpose to introduce general and major improvement in the city. Under the plan the allocated land would be awarded to the dairy farms.

The QDA was decorating the City by shifting un-desireable land used, such as shifting of bus/truck stands, motor showrooms, junkyards and dairy farms from town area to outskirts of Quetta and subsequently to Hazarganji.
