3G and 4G Services to Start in Waziristan From Today
During a visit to Wana, PM Imran Khan announced that 3G and 4G internet services will become operational in Waziristan from today (Wednesday).
During his visit to Wana, Waziristan, Prime Minister Imran Khan announced the inauguration of 3G and 4G internet services in the region starting Wednesday, January 20. The announcement was made during a cheque distribution ceremony for the successful candidates of the Kamyab Jawan Loan Scheme and the Youth Internship Scheme.
“I know that 3G and 4G is important for education and development […] this was a huge demand of the youth, one that was justified,” the premier said, causing a cheer among the crowd of the applicants.
Khan termed ‘security issues’ as the reason behind the delay of inaugurating the 3G and 4G internet services.
“[India] is trying its best to spread terror in Pakistan. We know of their efforts to spread chaos in Balochistan […] we have all the knowledge. Even in Waziristan, they are trying to instigate the youth against Pakistan. So that is why there was a problem regarding 3G/4G services which terrorists could also use.”
“But I spoke to my security agencies […] we agreed that we need to be cognisant of terrorists using this facility. Despite this, we also thought that it is the need of our young people and that is why this service will become operational from today.”
Approximately 70 per cent of the population in Waziristan lives below the line of poverty. “That is why we have the Ehsaas programme, the aim of which is to uplift those living below the poverty line by giving them cash stipends and scholarships.”
Imran Khan reiterated his support for the betterment of the residents of Waziristan regardless of their political views and opinions. “Whoever you voted for, it doesn’t make a difference to us. We will try to uplift this area and provide whatever facilities we can,” he reassured adding that the government was looking to bringing an “olive revolution” in the area.
“This is the best area for growing olive trees. We have carried out a survey and will start planting trees next month which we will hand over to the people.”
This will subsequently increase job prospects and will aid in the development of Waziristan
Imran Khan began his address in Waziristan very clearly, stating that the philosophy of the PTI government is to uplift the people and the areas that have been left behind during the nation’s road to development. “No one is here to ask for votes or to make promises that are made during election campaigns.”
He also directed KP Chief Minister Mahmood Khan to take notice of the people’s issues, adding that the people of Waziristan will also receive health insurance.
