PESHAWAR, Oct 6: NWFP Minister for Environment and Forests Shah Raz Khan has said that the government is trying to solve people’s problems in Malakand Agency.

Listening to grievances of people in the Batkhela qazi court on Friday, he said the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal believed in serving people and the large network of developmental projects across the province was a proof of this.

He advised people to shun their petty differences and unite to develop their area. He urged them to strengthen the MMA government’s hands so that the dream of sustainable development could materialise.

He asked local people to keep an eye on development schemes and ensure quality construction.

He said if people had any complaint in this regard they should inform the provincial government so that corrupt elements could be punished.—APP
