PESHAWAR: Adviser to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for Information and Public Relations, Samar Haroon Bilour, has said that the war against terrorism is not a fight of any political party but a battle for the survival of all of us; therefore, joint efforts are needed to end terrorism and establish peace.
Samar Haroon Bilour, while expressing solidarity with families of martyrs, said they stand with the families of martyrs in this difficult time, and her team will extend all possible cooperation to the affected families. She said that war against terrorism is being fought under the leadership of the Governor; however, without modernizing the Police and Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on modern lines, effective combat against terrorism is not possible.
“Police and CTD are our heroes; providing them modern weapons, protective equipment, modern vehicles and a necessary defence system is the need of the hour,” she said.Samar Haroon Bilour demanded provision of modern education and training opportunities for children of deprived areas including Bajaur, saying attention must be given to training centres and educational facilities projects for youth. She said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif listened in detail to issues of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa while attention is also being paid to improving the traffic and communication system in the province.
According to her, joint efforts are underway for development of KP and solution of public problems. Talking about the poor condition of city roads, Samar Haroon Bilour said roads are presenting a ruins-like view, and citizens are facing severe difficulties due to digging at different places.
She raised the question that it is not clear whether roads were dug by gas supplying institutions or construction institutions. She said the Governor raised the issue of immediate rehabilitation of city roads in the meeting, and a discussion was held to restore them on emergency basis.She added that the media will be informed about measures decided in meeting, while support to families of martyrs, effective measures against terrorism, and solution of civic problems are among top priorities.
