The fencing around the city of Gwadar has been a subject of controversy and concern, particularly among some Baloch groups who see it as part of broader issues related to land rights, development projects, and autonomy in the region.

Recently, Mahrang Baloch, a prominent voice advocating for Baloch rights and sovereignty, also made a significant appearance at a recent conference centered around the contentious issue of Gwadar fencing.

Baloch, known for her articulate advocacy and unwavering commitment to the Baloch cause, delivered a compelling address during the conference.

She articulated the concerns of the Baloch community regarding the fencing initiative, emphasizing its potential ramifications on local livelihoods, land ownership, and the broader struggle for autonomy and self-determination.

Mahrang also confronted authorities, who reportedly barred several participants from entering the conference on Gwadar fencing.
