PESHAWAR: NWFP Chief Minister Ameer Haidar Khan Hoti has claimed that conditions in the Malakand division are fast becoming normal, where the Nizam-i-Adl Regulation will be enforced after establishment of civil and judicial setups.
He said the strength of the police force would be doubled and a special force would be formed that would have 7,000 personnel. He said local people would be appointed in the force on merit and non-political basis.
He said an additional police force of 2,500 comprising former army personnel would also be formed.
The chief minister expressed these views during weekly meeting with MPAs at his office here on Thursday.
He said the increase in salaries of government employees, notwithstanding the financial crisis, reflected the government’s resolve to work for the welfare of the people of the province.
Citing the targets set in the budget, the chief minister said more funds had been allocated for ongoing schemes under the Annual Development Programme in order to complete the same within the stipulated time.
He said Rs4.66 billion had been allocated for poverty alleviation, Rs50 billion for the Public Sector Development Programme and Rs3 billion for the security of the Malakand division.
The MPAs appreciated the government for steps being taken to strengthen law-enforcement agencies and to increase the revenue of the province.
The chief minister also informed the lawmakers about the arrangements being made for return of the internally displaced persons to their hometowns.
