Peshawar
January 29, 2021
MANSEHRA: The people of Balakot on Thursday raised at an open forum the various issues faced by them since long as the provincial and federal governments had failed to have them resolved.
The forum was arranged in Balakot, the town, which was completely destroyed in a devastating earthquake on 8 October 2005.
They decried the delay in the development of Rs13 billion new Balakot City Housing Project, appointment of teachers and other staff at the Girls Degree College, lack of potable water supply and other issues at the forum.
“The government has acquired our agriculture land for the 880 megawatt Suki Kinari Hydropower Project in the Kaghan Valley but the company executing this mega energy project has not honoured its agreement with locals,” Mian Ashraf, a local leader of Jamaat-i-Islami, said.

BEIJING: A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Thursday congratulated 18 Pakistani staffers on winning awards from China in recognition of their contributions towards China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects pertaining to Gwadar port, energy, infrastructure and other fields.
“An online ceremony was recently held to confer awards on the Pakistani staffers working on CPEC projects. We express congratulations to them,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said during his regular briefing held here. He said the CPEC is an important pioneering project under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and it has maintained positive momentum since its launch in 2013, making solid contribution to Pakistan’s national development and regional connectivity. “We will work with the Pakistani side to make greater contribution to deliver more benefits to the two countries and people in the rest of the region,” he added.
