Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur conducted a surprise inspection of the Model Meat Processing Plant and Training Center on Charsadda Road, expressing strong displeasure over the facility’s prolonged closure.
The state-of-the-art plant, developed by the Livestock Department and equipped with modern machinery worth crores of rupees, has remained non-functional for the past eight months, said a statement issued from CM secretariat.
During the visit, the Chief Minister took serious notice of the situation and issued immediate directives to activate the facility by October 15, warning of strict action against responsible officials if the deadline is not met.
“The public has a right to benefit from such projects. Public funds have been invested in this plant, and their benefits must reach the people without delay,” he said.
The statement read that CM Gandapur instructed authorities to begin registration for training programs at the center without further delay. He also ordered the operationalization of the model meat shop and emphasized launching international-standard certification programs at the center.
Furthermore, the Chief Minister directed the Livestock Department to replicate the model in other districts by attracting private investment and forming public-private partnerships for long-term sustainability.
“This should serve as a warning, other public service centers lying inactive will also be inspected through sudden visits,” he warned, adding that non-performing units would face similar accountability.
The surprise visit came following public complaints received by the Chief Minister’s office regarding the prolonged inactivity of the plant.
