Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Culture Shaukat Yousafzai Friday said the provincial government was taking pragmatic measures to bring Shangla district at par with other developed districts of the province. Talking to a delegation from district Shangla here at his office, he said that development projects worth billions of rupees have already been initiated in education, health, irrigation, drinking water and other sectors in the area. He said the provincial government was taking keen interest in development of all far flung and deprived areas of the province and committed to address the decades long sense of deprivation of the local people. He said that past government intentionally kept district Shangla backward due to which the issues got aggravated.
