ISLAMABAD: On the occasion of Pakistan’s 77th Independence Day, Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa and his family have given tens of thousands of square feet of land to the Balochistan government as a gift.

A joint letter signed by Isa and Qazi Azmat Isa was sent to the Balochistan government in this regard. 

In the letter, they said they wished to donate 31,680 square feet of land owned by them, which lied adjacent to the Quaid-e-Azam's Residency at Ziarat.

They said the land was donated for the benefit of the people to use as an environmental centre, and they licensed it to the Government of Balochistan free of charge.

"Pakistan is approaching 77 years of Independence and, if the government agrees, we would want this gift for the people to take effect on the auspicious day of 14 August 2024," read the letter.

Copies of the letter, dated August 2, 2024, have been dispatched to the president, prime minister, Balochistan governor and Balochistan chief minister.
