Chief Minister Ameer Haider Hoti Sunday said that people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, particularly the Peshawarites, have immensely suffered material and human losses owing to militancy and terrorism in the province.
Hoti was addressing a gathering arranged for the distribution of compensation cheques among the members of traders whose businesses were damaged in terror incidents. Senior Minister Bashir Ahmad Bilour, Health Minister Syed Zahir Ali Shah, Sarhad Chamber of Commerce President Usman Bilour and Urban Sub-committee Chairman Shaukat Ali Khan also addressed the gathering.
Chief minister said, “The people of Peshawar had faced challenges due to terrorism with remarkable courage, patience and bravery and I pay gratitude to their greatness. Terrorism had greatly affected business activity in the province and the business community had a big share than the government in curbing the terrorism.”
He praised the business community for extending support and cooperation to the government and administration on the occasions of Eidul Azha, Muharram and 31st National games and that was the reason why terrorists failed to accomplish their evil agenda.
The chief minister expressed satisfaction over inclusion of 16 pending cases of Peepal Mandi blast. He said that keeping in view problems and needs of Peshawar city, the government has decided to start work on Gulbahar flyover. He said heavy traffic from Hayatabad would be linked to Khyber Road through Expressway while work on Northern Bypass project will also launched shortly.
