The prime minister said efforts will be made to improve health and education facilities, especially girls’ schools. He said a strategy should be devised to provide speedy and inexpensive justice. He directed to enforce local government system in the tribal areas in line with suggestions and decisions of the people for the development of the tribal belt.PM Khan said no individual should be rendered jobless as a result of the new administrative measures. He said a quota reserved for tribal people in schools, colleges, and universities should not be adversely impacted in any way, and more job opportunities will be created for the youth of these areas.
