PM Shehbaz to Announce Development Package for KP Today

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired a significant meeting in Peshawar on Thursday, marking his first visit to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa since the PTI government's removal following an emergency declaration and governor's rule. The meeting, held at Governor House, involved federal ministers and senior military officials, focusing on reviewing the province's security situation, law and order challenges, and development affairs. Updates were provided on ongoing development projects and the conditions in 12 terrorism-affected districts that are currently under emergency rule. Discussions revolved around improving security, accelerating development initiatives, and addressing the issues faced by residents in these affected regions. The Prime Minister is anticipated to unveil a special development package for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which notably includes a substantial Rs75 billion allocation for the construction of the Broghil road from Mastuj. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to stabilizing and developing the region, particularly after a period of political upheaval and ongoing security concerns.
