KOHAT, Dec 15: NWFP Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani has asked the bureaucrats to change their attitude and act like real servants of the masses.

Speaking at a public gathering at the Gulshanabad Square here on Sunday, the chief minister said that he would soon visit all the districts of the province to get first-hand information about the problems of the people and prepare development plans according to their needs, instead of taking a decision while sitting in the secretariat as had been the practice in the past.

He said that strict action would be taken against those districts’ administration under whose limits gambling and obscenity had been allowed in the name of entertainment.

The chief minister said that the government would implement tenets of Islam and refrain from practising imported culture.

Akram Durrani said that the problems of the southern districts of the province, which could not get due attention of the rulers in the past, would be solved on priority basis so that their backwardness could be removed through economic activity and mineral exploration in these areas.

He said that in future all the districts would get their due share from the budget for carrying out development schemes.

Speaking on the occasion, MNA Mufti Ibrar Sultan said that people hoped that the government would enforce Shariat in the country according to the recommendations of the Council of Islamic Ideology.

The meeting was also addressed by provincial minister Zafar Azam, ANP MPA Qalb-i-Hassan and other religious leaders.
