\nGovernor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Faisal Karim Kundi, met with Federal Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi here on Friday to discuss the law and order situation in the province, with a particular focus on public and commercial challenges at the Torkham and Taftan border crossings, as well as security concerns related to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
\nDuring the meeting, Governor Kundi expressed concern over the growing incidents of unrest and abductions, especially in the Dera Ismail Khan region along the CPEC route.
