DAWN.COM

The Fata Students Federation (FSF) has demanded of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor to take notice of the embezzlement of funds, meant for development schemes in tribal areas.“The funds, allocated for development of tribal areas, are embezzled as officials at Fata Secretariat have ignored tribal people,” alleged FSF president Haroon Luqman Afridi.Addressing a press conference at Peshawar Press Club on Tuesday, he said that officials of Fata Secretariat were least bothered in initiating uplift schemes in what he called the neglected regions. That’s why unrest among the people was increasing fast, he added.
Mr Afridi demanded of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Barrister Masood Kausar to take notice of what he called irregularities in the funds and ensure initiation of uplift schemes in Fata
