Governor KP expresses concern over worsen law and order situation, developmental schemes in province

Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Faisal Karim Kundi expressed concern over the worsening law and order situation and neglected developmental schemes in the province.
The Governor hosted a dignified dinner at the Governor’s House last night in honor of the opposition members of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly.
The dinner was attended by key opposition figures including Dr. Ibadullah, Leader of the Opposition in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, Parliamentary leader of PPP Ahmed Karim Kundi, Arbab Usman of ANP, Malik Tariq Awan of PMLN, Rehana Ismail of JUIF and others.
During the event, discussions focused on the current political, economic, and law and order situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Opposition members expressed grave concerns over the deteriorating security situation in the province, highlighting recent incidents of terrorism, extortion, kidnapping for ransom, and general unrest in Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, and the merged district of Kurram Parachinar. They voiced their disappointment that the provincial government has not taken these issues seriously.
The opposition members criticized the current provincial administration for failing to include any projects for the province in the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP). They pledged that in the future, all political parties in the province would collaborate to prepare and present projects for the PSDP, ensuring their approval by the federal government. They also expressed concern that funds allocated for the merged districts are being used elsewhere, which they deemed unjust to the tribal people.
The provincial government, they argued, should focus on utilizing these funds for the merged districts as promised.
The assembly members raised issues regarding the lack of interest shown by both federal and provincial bureaucracy in public service matters. They criticized the high-ranking officials for their indifferent attitude, which they believe is causing embarrassment to the public representatives. The assembly members thanked the Governor for establishing NADRA and passport offices in the provincial assembly and commended him for this initiative. In response, Governor Faisal Karim Kundi expressed gratitude to the opposition members for attending the dinner. He emphasized that elected representatives are accountable to the public and that their role is crucial in addressing the challenges and driving development at regional and national levels.
