Asad Umar; Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, has announced yesterday that in a week’s time period Prime minister Imran Khan will be announcing a special development program for the areas in Pakistan that are most underdeveloped and need special attention.
Asad Umar told this via his twitter handle.
He had spent last two days in Southern districts of Balochistan including Awaran, Turbat, Khuzdar and Gwadar. During this time, he observed that special attention regarding the matter of development was needed there.
He wrote: “Before announcing a development package (for these areas), observation of ground realities of the areas was necessary,”
He added: “In the midst of all the deprivation that we saw in South Balochistan in the last two days, there was one bright spot. The women of this area are far more empowered than in other parts of Pakistan”
