The Awami National Party Balochistan Chapter along with National Youth Organization Balochistan Chapter organized a large public gathering in Quetta followed by a shutter down strike and another All Parties Conference. This pressurized the Federal Government to call an All Parties Conference in which all participating parties agreed on the building of the western route on priority. While the issue is still being discussed insufficient funds allocated to the western route have raised concerns about over-commitment by the Federal Government and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
