Islamabad (PID AJK) 19 Feb 2022 Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Sardar Abdul Qayyum Khan Niazi has said that concerted efforts were being made to set up a comprehensive mechanism to ensure speedy development and prosperity all across the liberated territory.
The AJK PM expressed these views while talking to cabinet ministers Azhar Sadiq, Sardar Fahim Akhtar Rabbani, Dewan Ali Khan Chughtai and members of other delegations who called on him here on Saturday. Speaking on the occasion the PM said that a number of development schemes have been launched in different parts of the state.
“Tenders regarding the construction of 20-kilometer roads in 33 constituencies have already been issued”, he said adding that 825 km long link-roads connecting different areas to main highways were being constructed in all districts of Azad Kashmir to provide quality and better transportation facilities to the masses.
In view of the larger benefits of the people of AJK, the PM said that scope of all schemes launched by the federal government have been extended to Azad Kashmir.
He said that the recently approved Rs. 520 billion Kashmir development package was in the final phase of implementation. The package he said would usher a new era of economic prosperity and development in the region. He said that a number of mega development projects have been under progress. Lohar Tunnel project, he said, was in the final stage of approval, whereas Shunthar Tunnel project which connects AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan was also underway and work on the project would start soon.
“PC1 of Kahuri Kamsar Tunnel, Lepa Tunnel, Settlement of post1989 migrants from Indian occupied Kashmir, and Tourism Corridor mega projects have been prepared and sent to the Federal Government for final approval”, the PM said.
Commenting on the prevailing political environment in the country, he said, the PTI on the basis of its performance will also win the upcoming elections. The people of Pakistan, he said, have rejected the opposition parties.
He said that the common man of the country stands with Prime Minister Imran Khan and the conspiracies being hatched against him will doomed to fail. “PTI will win a historic victory for the second time in the 2023 elections”, he said.
Afraid of Imran Khan, he said, leaders of opposition parties were hectically engaged in conspiracies and forging alliances to dislodge the PTI government. Imran Khan’s rally in Mandi Bahauddin, he said, was sufficient enough to open the eyes of opposition.
Terming Imran Khan as the future of Pakistan, he said that under his leadership Pakistan would soon reach new heights of prosperity and stability.
