SWAT: Adviser to the Prime Minister Engr Amir Muqam on Sunday said Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) believed in the country’s uniform development process and had restarted work on projects in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Swat, after it was halted by the PTI government.
Addressing a public gathering after the inauguration of the passport office at Khwazakhela in Upper Swat, Mr Muqam said work on gas projects was started by PML-N government in 2017 in Swat which had been halted by the previous PTI government. He said the PML-N had restarted work on all halted gas projects in Swat to provide the much-needed relief to the people.
During the government of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, he said passport offices were established in all districts of Khyber Pakthunkhwa.
He said establishing five new passport offices at Pathan Lower Kohistan, Chakdara Lower Dir, Sheringal Upper Dir, Shergarh Mardan and Khawzakhela Swat was another gift of the PML-N government for the people of Khyber Pakthunkhwa.
Mr Muqam said political opponents could not mislead the people of Swat as these elements had completely failed to address their problems during nine-year-long rule of PTI.
He said that feasibility study for Bisham-Khwazakhela expressway had been completed, adding that after completion it would change the destiny of the people of Malakand division, including Swat and Shangla.
Mr Muqam said Rs20 billion relief was provided to the people of Khyber Pakthunkhwa under free flour package during Ramazan.
