Fata reforms

By our correspondents
May 26, 2017

This refers to the article, ‘Fata deserves  better’ (May 24), by Omar  Afridi. The writer has mentioned  the patriotism of people living in  Fata. These people have sacrificed  a lot for this country. They are a  constant target of terrorism and  counter-terrorism. These constant  attacks have destroyed the houses  of residents, resulted in the death of  hundreds of children and women,  and displaced many families. It is  high time the government took  measures to alleviate the sufferings  of these people. Employment opportunities  should be created in the  region.  A few people are enjoying several  benefits from the region do not  want to see the merger of Fata with  KP. They do not want to bring the  region in the mainstream of the  country. At this time, the tribal  areas do not deserve not only better,  but they need such reforms that  supplement the bright future of the  people. The government should  take a bold decision and carry out  steps that can help alleviate the sufferings  of the people of Fata.  Dr Sher Mohammad Khan  Peshawar
