Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday inaugurated the restored residency of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in Ziarat and hoisted the national flag there.
Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif was also present on the occasion.
The governor and chief minister of Balochistan, provincial ministers and senior bureaucrats attended the ceremony.
The residency was destroyed in a rocket and arson attack in June last year with the entire wooden structure gutted and articles used by the Quaid-i-Azam and kept on display reduced to ashes.
After the incident, the federal government and many businessmen and other persons offered to provide funds for restoration of the residency, but Chief Minister Dr Malik Baloch announced that the work would be carried out by the Balochistan government from its own resources.
The restoration of the building cost over Rs140 million and the work was completed in four months.
