PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur inaugurated the construction of the long-awaited missing link of the Peshawar Ring Road near Nasir Bagh Road on Tuesday. He was accompanied by Provincial Ministers Mina Khan, Arshad Ayub, and Special Assistant Asim.
\nAddressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said Peshawar had long been neglected and it was time to look ahead and focus on meaningful development. \u201cWe inherited unresolved issues and had access to only 18 days\u2019 worth of salary from the provincial resources,\u201d he said. \u201cDespite the challenges, our politics is based on principles, and it should remain that way.\u201d
\nGandapur announced an additional Rs 50 billion in the Annual Development Program (ADP) and vowed not to leave any tehsil in the province without a Rural Health Centre (RHC). \u201cCreating districts alone is not enough,\u201d he said. \u201cReal development lies in providing essential services like health and education.\u201d
\nHe expressed concern that despite spending Rs 30 billion annually for the past 15 years on districts and tehsils, many still lack District Headquarters (DHQ) hospitals and colleges. \u201cThere is only one hospital in the entire province for cardiac patients, leading to waiting times of up to three months. This is unacceptable,\u201d he said.
\nHe criticized former public representatives who failed to secure even a college for their districts and pledged to complete the stalled projects from previous governments. \u201cSome projects have been pending since 2013. We will ensure their completion during our tenure,\u201d he added.
\nGandapur also announced a new road from the Industrial Estate, part of a comprehensive development package for Peshawar. \u201cWorking with the Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) is among the most difficult tasks, but it must be done. People are dying due to adulterated food and we will be held accountable for this,\u201d he said.
\nSpeaking about his recent meeting with the Governor, Gandapur clarified that he attended the swearing-in ceremony of the Chief Justice. \u201cI don\u2019t hide my actions,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
