CHITRAL: MNA from Chitral Shahzada Mohyuddin has said that he lent his supporting hand to PPPP in the presidential election for the sake of the continuation of the development project in which included the mega project of Lowari rail tunnel. Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, the MNA elected on PML-Q ticket said that nothing is dearer to him than the development of his constituency and it is due to this reason that he returned to the lower house of parliament for the fourth time by his electorates. He said that due to its enormous size and mountainous topography, the district is far backward and provision of basic infrastructures is yet a dream for want of funds. He said that a number of development projects were started during the previous regime of PML-Q among which Golen Gol hydel project, Booni-Shandur road and construction of truck-able bridge at Mastuj and extension of Sarhad rural support programme (SRSP) for rural development. He said that the present government has decided to continue all the ongoing development projects in Chitral for which he was grateful to President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani. He said that he had obtained Benazir Income Support Cards from the federal government which will be equally distributed among the 24 union councils. He said that the cards will be awarded to the really deserved women irrespective of their political affiliations and a transparent way will be adopted in this process.
