He said there should be a two-pronged approach: enlightening the humanity and perseverance. The latter one was not an easy task. hae added.

REFUGEES: Referring to the problem of refugees, the acting governor said it was mainly because of an abnormal situation in Afghanistan that the people had been migrating here. They would definitely go back if peace and normalcy returned to war-torn Afghanistan and the process of its reconstruction started.
