The committee reviewed the overall security situations in the province, particularly in the erstwhile federally administered tribal areas (Fata) and also reviewed progress made on the elimination of unexploded ordnances.
The forum also discussed developmental schemes in the newly-merged tribal districts. It was decided to approach the federal government and request it to release funds for projects in erstwhile Fata.
