\nThe prime minister said that he had laid down the foundations for the commencement of mega-development projects in the backward areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s southern districts.
\nHe mentioned that during his previous visits, these areas were inundated with flood water and the people had faced immense destruction, from Nowshera to Swat, Kalam, Kohistan, DI Khan and Tank districts were badly affected by floods.
\nDestruction in Swat was caused mainly due to man-made structures in the middle of the river\u2019s course, he said, and criticized the provincial government of PTI for its flawed policies.

\nThe prime minister said that the federal government had allocated a huge amount of Rs90 billion for the flood-affected populace and each affected family was given Rs25,000 each besides, ensuring the provision of medicine and food.
\nThe magnitude of the disaster was huge, he said, adding the on January 9, a donors\u2019 conference would be held in Geneva and they would remind the world that the climate-induced calamity was the result of global carbon emissions by developed nations.
\nPakistan had less than one percent of carbon imprints, but it had been pummeled by the extreme weather due to carbon emissions by developed countries, he opined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
