Naik Muhammad Sajid | 13 years ago | Reply Congritulate the people of Tor Ghar It is another achievement of Democratic governments which are present in federal and provincial levels.It shows that ANP and PPP governments take interest in the development of remote areas.I think Democracy is the first and last salution of the problems of the country.The present worse condition of the country is the production of last martial laws particularly of the Musharraf govt.So I request the people of Pakistan to support democracy,democratic people and democratic process. The restoration of judiciary,18th amendment,Aghaz huqoqe balochistan,renaming of KPK and the successful meetings of council of commen interest etc are the fruits of democracy Democracy Zindabad. InshAllah District Tor Ghar will be facilitated regardiding its requirements as a district.
