Prime Minister Imran Khan, while addressing the lack of facilities at the Taftan border, said that the area is "barren" and Balochistan government did not have enough funds to provide adequate facilities to pilgrims and traders arriving from Iran.

"Dr Zafar [Mirza] went to Taftan after the first case was reported and when he returned and gave us the report, we were horrified. Because the [area] lacked basic facilities.

"We can't call it mismanagement, there was no management there at all," the premier said.
