PESHAWAR: The interim provincial government of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa is concentrating on technical education with the goal of exporting 500,000 skilled workers overseas. This falls under the “Prosperous Pakhtunkhwa Program,” which entails a number of actions aimed at promoting the prosperity and well-being of the populace throughout the province.
This was claimed by K-P Caretaker Chief Minister Justice (retd) Syed Arshad Hussain Shah on Wednesday. He said that the government was trying its level best to introduce useful reforms in every sector to serve the masses.
The chief minister visited the Peshawar Press Club where he inaugurated a 25 KV solar system which has been installed at a cost of Rs6.4 million.
Electricity expenses could be reduced by up to Rs 2 million per year with the recently installed solar system. Chief Secretary Nadeem Aslam Chaudhry, Information Secretary Abdul Jabbar Shah, K-P Caretaker Provincial Minister for Information Barrister Feroz Jamal Shah Kakakhel, and Director General of Information & PRs Muhammad Imran were also present.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the solar system, the chief minister said that the province had to improve its governance system keeping in view the principles and requirements of public service delivery so as to effectively resolve the issues being faced by the general public at their door steps.
He remarked that the caretaker provincial government had already launched a comprehensive drive against all issues related to the general public including drugs, street crimes, adulteration, hoarding, self-imposed price hikes, vehicular traffic problems, encroachments and revenue-related issues.
However, he said, the government would also need the cooperation and guidance of the media in the operation against the menace of drugs, adding that drug peddlers had emerged as the most dangerous enemies of our younger generation as they had made even educational institutions their strongholds for that nefarious purpose. That is why, he said, the struggle against them would need to have the cooperation of all sections of society, especially journalists.
