PESHAWAR: Former federal minister and renowned businessman, Salim Saifullah Khan has offered donation of 1,000 kanal of his land for establishment of an industrial zone to transform his native district Lakki Marwat into a beacon of economic and socio-economic growth. The proposal of the establishment of an economic zone in the backward district of the southern part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was made to the Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar during a recent meeting of the senior politician-cum-businessman, said a press release issued here on Tuesday. The proposal aims to address issues stemming from a lack of industrial and economic activity in Lakki Marwat, which has led to high unemployment and underdevelopment. Lakki Marwat’s untapped potential, recent oil and gas discoveries and its strategic location for exports to Afghanistan and Central Asia underscore the need for an industrial and economic zone. APP
