Sounding his trumpet: ‘Development in K-P will bear fruit’

Law minister approves Rs2 million for bridge, girls school in Kohat

PESHAWAR: Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Imtiaz Shahid Qureshi has assured steps taken by the “dynamic” leadership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairperson Imran Khan and Chief Minister Pervez Khattak for the development in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa will bear fruit.

This was stated in a handout issued on Tuesday. According to the document, Qureshi was addressing various delegations from his constituency of PK-39, Kohat at his office at the Civil Secretariat. He said the process would be free of corruption.

“The pace of development would be expedited and supremacy of law would prevail at all costs to achieve the ultimate goal,” the handout cited Qureshi as saying.



“The PTI-led government focused all its attention on human development rather than huge expenditures on material things.”

The minister said education, health and other social sectors were being streamlined to create a welfare society.

The delegations lauded the role of the K-P government in bringing about considerable improvement in the standard of schools, hospitals and policing. They appreciated the law minister’s efforts to accelerate development in Kohat.

Approved

Qureshi approved an additional Rs2 million for four pillars of a bridge and a girls school in Barh village of Nusrat Khel union council, Kohat. He said the girls school would encourage women in the village to get an education without having to travel long distances.

Similarly, the bridge would also be completed soon for which Rs4 million were released, while more would be provided on an urgent basis.
