Besides others the meeting was attended by Minister for Sports and Tourists Mehmood Khan, secretary Sports and Tourism Ahmad Hassan, Senior Member Board of Revenue Waqar Ayub and other officers concerned of the departments of environment, tourism, local bodies, etc.

Mr Khattak while appreciating the performance of the Board of Investment and Trade (BoIT) desired it to assist the department of tourism in making tourist spots more attractive for tourists.

A green thumb: Imran kick-starts plantation drive

ABBOTTABAD:
Around 55,000 saplings of various species were planted by students of Hazara University’s Havelian campus on Saturday after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan launched a plantation campaign in the Hazara division. He was accompanied by Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Minister (CM) Pervez Khattak, PTI leader Jehangir Tareen, and PTI MPAs from Hazara Division.

Imran and the CM separately planted saplings and kicked off the drive after a ceremony which was attended by students of the area’s schools and colleges. Speaking on the occasion, the PTI chief asked students to direct their energy towards keeping the environment clean and green. He linked the planting of trees with the prosperity and development of the province and asked students and community groups to help the PTI government make K-P a green province.

In his brief address to students and teachers, Imran made it clear that his visit to the university was to promote tree plantation and not for political point scoring.

He said the government would plant 200 million saplings during the ongoing plantation drive across the province while its target is to plant 1 billion saplings during the next five years. He asked the university administration and students to take good care of the plants as he would visit the campus again to check on their care and progress.

KPK once again takes lead by introducing new ideas and by using technology to solve problems. CCTV cameras to be used during Examination to monitor cheating during exams.

^^they should further streamline this. Possibly use the record when considering bureaucratic promotions. any such announcement on its own will improve the efficiency of the bureaucratic system by shifting some of the power to the public in general.

They need to develop KPIs and balanced scorecards that is used for performance management, individual KPI that cascade up into strategic ones... That would do real hard fact/data based determination of performance...
