The Chief Minister added that no act of political unrest would be allowed to derail the province’s momentum toward progress.
Development Agenda: From Infrastructure to Industry
The Chief Minister outlined several upcoming initiatives under the new development roadmap. These include major road network projects, new hospitals, digital classrooms, and industrial revival zones aimed at attracting local and foreign investors.
He said that new projects would focus on rural inclusion, ensuring that even the remotest districts have access to essential services. “Development cannot be selective; it must reach every household,” he said, adding that his administration is using data-driven planning to improve efficiency and accountability.
