He added that their names will then be forwarded by divisional commissioners to Peshawar for the provincial-level competitions, where the final contests of Naat recitation and Qirat will be held on 11th Rabi-ul-Awal.
He further said that on 12th Rabi-ul-Awal, a grand Rehmat-ul-lil-Alameen Conference will take place in Peshawar, under the patronage of the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
