Bureau report
PESHAWAR: A drinking water scheme has been completed with the financial assistance of the government of Japan in Bakara village in Khyber Agency. It would help in provision of potable water to the villagers. The scheme would mitigate the sufferings of the women and girls, who used to fetch water from far-flung areas.
Nawabzada Fazal Karim Afridi, the honorary consul-general of Japan in Peshawar, inaugurated the scheme at an informal ceremony. Tribal elders and locals of the area attended the function.
Mr Afridi read out a special message of ambassador of Japan to Pakistan Chihiro Atsumi. In his message, the ambassador expressed great pleasure over the completion and inauguration of the scheme for provision of safe drinking water at Bakara village.
Two tribal elders, Shakirullah Jan and Shah Wali Khan, expressed gratitude to the government of Japan and its people for financial assistance for the scheme. They attributed the timely completion of the scheme to the interest taken by Afridi.
In his speech, Afridi said people of the area lacked health and education facilities and electricity. He said the problems would be discussed with the government of Japan. He said the people of the agency had great respect for the government and people of Japan for financing the establishment of schools and drinking water schemes in the area. He said the tribesmen would continue playing their role in strengthening relations between Pakistan and Japan.
