Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mehmood Khan on Friday said that effective steps will be taken to enhance export-import via Torkham border. Chief Minister while visiting Pak-Afghan border at Torkham interacted with passengers on the border and inquired about their problems. He also met and shook hands with Afghan border security force personnel at the border.
Talking to local media persons on his visit to Torkham on Friday, the chief minister said that soon regular laws, prevailing in other parts of the country, will be extended to tribal districts. He said incumbent provincial government will take every possible measure to facilitate the tribesmen. CM said that although previous government had taken the decision of abolishing of Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR) and merging of tribal areas into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but didn't adopt any effective mechanism for its post merging situation.
However, he said the incumbent government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) allocated a weighty financial package of hundred billion rupees for the development of the tribal district. He maintained that before June, 2019, regular law of the country would be implemented in tribal areas to remove sense of deprivation among the residents of tribal districts.
