Development: K-P govt to plan livestock and poultry sectors

PESHAWAR:

The government gives high priority to livestock and poultry sectors in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) and is focusing on making model poultry farms.

Provincial Minister for Livestock Dairy Development and Cooperatives, Hidayatullah Khan, stated this while giving Category D status to Rural Health Centre Munda in Lower Dir.

He said the establishment of these centres would promote livestock and poultry activities and also increase income of the farmers.

The minister said a centre for promotion of the livestock sector has been established in Lower Dir and a separate feeder and grid station at Jandol have been approved by the K-P government to address low voltage problems and loadshedding in the region.

He said the facility would be inaugurated this week for which all arrangements have been completed.
