PESHAWAR Oct 5: As many as Rs50 million would be spent on developmental projects to help improve the socio-economic condition of downtrodden tribal people of North Wazriistan Agency, MNA Karmran Khan said Sunday.

Addressing an Eid Milan party arranged by Noor Ghazi Manzarkhel in North Waziristan Agency, he said that developmental grant would be spent on various sectors in accordance to priority and merit so that no area or village could be deprived of development.

The tribal people had rendered supreme sacrifices for the country in the past and will continue the same, he said. The lawmaker in categorical term said that nobody and foreign forces would be allowed to disrupt peaceful atmosphere of the agency and make bombardment on innocent tribesmen, women and children.

He urged the ulema and religious scholars to come forward and highlight the true teachings of Islam to curb the growing scourge of extremism and terrorism and promote the spirit of brotherhood, peace, tranquillity and social justice in the society. —APP
