PESHAWAR
\nChief Minister Mahmood Khan has stated that the incumbent provincial government has established a model of sustainable development in the province to make the province financially self-sustainable and enable it to contribute significantly to the national exchequer.
\n In a statement issued from the Chief Minister\u2019s Secretariat, Mahmood Khan maintained that Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) believes in the empowerment of institutions instead of depending on personalities adding that institutional empowerment was the only way to ensure sustainable development and the establishment of a welfare state.
\n KP province has been set on the track of development which will make the province a role model for national development, he added and said that the government was working tirelessly for promotion of tourism as an industry which has made the province a tourist destination not only at national but international level. In order to exploit the natural resources available in the province, various initiatives have been undertaken in which the wheeling model deserves special attention.
\nMr Khan added in the statement that provision of cheap electricity has made KP an attractive spot for national and international investors seeking establishment of small and large industrial units.
\nThe Chief Minister maintained that despite various constraints and challenges, the provincial government has successfully completed the integration of erstwhile FATA into KP which was a daunting task.
\nHowever, the indifferent attitude of the current federal government has raised serious concerns over the intention regarding development of these areas.
\nCM-KP said that non-provision of development funds has fueled apprehensions of continued exploitation of the tribal belt among the tribal people.
\nThe Chief Minister stated that the present government has also invested significantly on preservation of our moral, cultural and Islamic values adding that these initiatives will strengthen our national identity among the international community.
\n The introduction of Islamic teaching by translation of the Holy Quran in schools and provision of honorarium to Aima Masajid and religious leaders of minorities, deserve special mention here which has enabled their financial independence.
\nTouching upon the initiatives taken in education and health sectors, the Chief Minister said that deficiencies of staff and other resources in government schools and hospitals have been addressed due to which services delivery has improved significantly.
\n The Chief Minister concluded that we can never succeed as a nation without ensuring uniform development of every segment of society.
\n\u201cPTI is working sincerely towards the establishment of an Islamic welfare state as per the expectations of the general public,\u201d he claimed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
