F.P. Report
LANDI KOTAL: Residents of Loy-Shelman, the remote and bordering areas of tehsil Landi Kotal demanded the candidates to resolve their problems prior seeking for their votes in the upcoming general election.
In a meeting convened by the Qaumi Masail Committee(QMC), Landi Kotal was held in Angaran ground, Loy-Shelman on the last day that was attended by people from different walks of life.
Speaking on the occasion Hamza Shelmani, office bearers of QMC including Illayas Shinwari, Kaleemullah and others said that in the last years, the areas had been totally ignored and it lacked all basic needs being enjoyed by the down towns.
Roads are in dilapidated condition while the locals in this modern era transport their patients 25 kilometers away to Headquarter Hospital, Landi Kotal for treatment because of a shortage of medical facilities that is unfair to them, they remarked.
They went on that unscheduled power off had made their lives miserable while the womenfolk traveled for miles to pitch a bucket of potable water to meet their needs.
Previous parliamentarians neglected them and never initiated a plan to address their problems, they regretted.
They threatened that until providing basic facilities they would never cast their votes in the upcoming election, to be scheduled on 08 February, 2024.
It is to be stated here that district Khyber has one National Assembly seat (NA-27) and three Provincial Assembly seats (PK-69, PK-70 and PK- 71).
