**The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Governor Engineer Shaukatullah on Wednesday visited Tirah Valley; the worst suffered and remotely located area of Khyber Agency where 18,000 IDP families have just repatriated after spending life in camps and here and there.
**
The Governor landed at Bagh Markaz; the central point of Maidan area of valley which witnessed first ever government functionary since 1947 as well and he met with the soldiers of Pak Army too and also addressed tribal elders on this occasion. “We feel proud of the selfless services and sacrifices of our ‘these’ ghazis who have enabled all of us to revive normal life in this highly remote but one of the most important valleys,” the Governor said.
**Engineer Shaukatullah, after having a detail briefing on the post, peace restoration process in the area, also declared approval of Rs 160 million as an emergent assistance to initiate rehabilitation process. Rs 100 million are meant to facilitate IDPs in meeting their immediate needs while Rs 60 million will be spent on establishment of schools and community medical centres as well as improvement of road links as an emergency arrangement, he said. “This is very meagre amount as against the volume of the challenging demands, which we all have to meet positively; however, we are in the process to generate sufficient resources to help the suffering people and InshaAllah will again meet in a pleasant atmosphere,” he remarked.

The Governor, accompanied by Members of National Assembly from Khyber Agency, Haji Shahji Gul Afridi and Nasir Khan Afridi, besides ACS, FATA, Arbab Muhammad Arif and Political Agent, Mutahirzeb also had an aerial view of the vast destruction causes to houses and markets because of factional fights followed by insurgency like situation in the valley and later on also rounded the area and met with the shopkeepers and the passers by.
He also went to Muslim Public School, a primary educational institution working in tents, and exchanged views with students as well as with teachers. Meanwhile, addressing the tribal elders, the Governor said “we are here today to personally witness the volume of destruction caused to assets of tribal people and also explore possibilities to meet the immediate needs of the IDPs who still are compelled to lead miserable life mainly because of the severe weather conditions.” Army jawans are “our ghazis”, and their role in restoration of peace in FATA over the recent past has indeed added another golden chapter in the commonly shared rich history of Pak Army and the tribes of FATA and nation will always feel proud of it, he further said. He also assured the tribal elders to ensure availability of a Tehsildar along with his staff at Bagh Markaz to facilitate both the Army soldiers and the IDPs in their smooth rehabilitation as well as promptly carry forward development activities. Earlier a tribal elder Haji Naseeb Gul presented traditional gift “Lungi Kulah” to the Governor. The Governor also mixed with tribal elders and the soldiers of Pak Army and exchanged views on the prevailing situation in the area.

I feel heard!!!**
Salaries of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police increased**
Chief Minister, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pervez Khattak Wednesday announced increase in the salaries of police to bring it at par with the Punjab police with immediate effect. He was addressing an impressive cash award and certificate distribution ceremony of police here at Chief Minister’s Secretariat.
The Chief Minister also announced additional allowance for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) and sniffer dogs, which are in front line in the war against terror. The Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak distributed cash awards and commendation certificates amongst 30 police officers and jawans who besides repulsing terrorist attacks on various police stations and police posts in the province had also worked out important cases of terrorism in the last few days.
It merits mention that the IGP Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police Nasir Khan Durrani while presenting welcome address in the function has said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police had so far scarified more than 750 police officers and jawans in the ongoing war and this number was increasing day by day as every day police was scarifying its precious lives in line of duty. However he further went on to say that it was a matter of great concern that despite so many sacrifices Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police was getting less salary than the Punjab police. More irony of the fact is that even no extra allowance is being given to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police.
