It is really shocking how much deforestation has effected all cities of Pakistan and specially KPK when you compare with forest preservation efforts world wide Pakistan really far behind the Tree growing initiative is a app-laudable move by KPK government

Hopefully it is recognized on international level and more funding is provided to help with GREEN initiative in region and less dependence on deforestation

The biggest development is the resignation of Hamid Khan and the details he is coming out with. Utter disappointment. PTI officially gave in to the pressures they faced from their peers and bureaucracy ending up neutralizing KP-EC

Here's the reason

The real route case of lack of investment in KPK. KPK government should step up efforts to curb Bhatta Mafia which is far more dangerous than the Terrorist outfits.

Investigation is a routine on leads, some end up with no results other reach a logical conclusion. Nothing can be said with certainty about role of Pervez in Mines scandal for now. Hamid Khan himself admits PTI never interfered in his work until now.In the meanwhile there were PTI ministers facing the heat but KPK govt. didnt budge. So i think there is something more to it and it has probably to do with their weak (coalition dependent) govt. and role of corrupt bureaucracy which ultimately won the pressure battle.

More red and dangerous flags for business sentiment. Provincial government should collaborate with Army on curbing this increasing menace

Western route: K-P hands Centre wishlist of CPEC projects
:
The disgruntled Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government has sought 6,000 megawatt power projects and representation on the working groups of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.

In a meeting with Federal Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal in Islamabad on Monday, Chief Minister Pervez Khattak unveiled what he wants for his province in the multibillion-dollar project.

K-P has been pushing the government to complete CPEC’s western route first. Its efforts paid off when at an all-party conference on January 15, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif set the July 2018 deadline for the completion of the western alignment.

A list of 12 economic zones in the province was also scrapped with the final number to be determined after due consultation with Peshawar.

According to an official handout, the Khattak-Iqbal meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere. During the meeting, Iqbal clarified Khattak’s misgivings about CPEC and assured the latter that the Western route was very much part of the monographic study of CPEC.

He revealed that the Gwadar-Surab section will be completed by December 2016, while groundbreaking of the Dera Ismail Khan section – scheduled to be completed by July 2018 — would be held in March.

“Western route is very much part of the CPEC framework and this has also been clarified by Embassy of China in Pakistan,” said Iqbal.

Officials who attended the meeting said Khattak has demanded that the federal government either set up power plants that generate between 5,000MW to 6,000MW or provide the provincial administration funds for it.

On this, the planning minister asked the chief minister to share details to justify this demand.

Around two-dozen medium to long-term energy related projects with a generation capacity of 17,000MW and worth $34 billion constitute a major part of the project.

Khattak also asked the federal government to complete the much-delayed Chashma Right Bank Canal project which would help provide irrigation water to the arid southern districts of K-P. Iqbal promised to arrange a meeting between the Water and Power Development Authority and the provincial administration.

Complaining that Punjab dominates all the energy-related activities planned under CPEC, K-P sought representation on various working groups of the multibillion-dollar project.

At the moment, only Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif is invited to meetings of the Cabinet Committee on Energy. Iqbal assured the K-P chief minister that all provinces would be given due representation in the working groups.

Khattak demanded that five special economic zones be set up along M-1 Motorway, in Batagram, Haripur, Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan. To this, Iqbal asked the K-P government to come up with specific proposals for the zones as he urged them to hire well-reputed consultant to identify commercially viable sites in the province.

He also pushed Khattak on ensuring speedy land acquisition for sections of western route which pass through the province. Khattak also demanded that optical fibre and rail links also pass through his province.

Meet Aneela Naz, the KP police officer battling criminals and stereotypes

PESHAWAR: District Superintendent Police Aneela Naz has worked hard to earn a name in a male-dominated police force.

As she makes her way into her office, a man stands up in a gesture of respect: she is one of the few women serving the police department for almost two decades. Inside, she settles down in her chair, glancing at a stack of forms waiting to be signed. The room is as sparsely decorated as other police offices in Khyber Pakhthunkhwa; aside from a desk and a plaque with her name, there isn’t much else.

“I don’t know how 19 years have passed,” DSP Naz laughs. Over the years, she has learnt it all: from learning how to operate every type of weapon to going on raids and operations alongside her male colleagues. She has topped every course and now trains both men and women in the formidable police force.

Naz has seen the KP police force transform from a team with only 19 women, to one with over 600 serving in different departments all across the province.
