During the discussion, the chief minister instructed the Malakand commissioner to visit the project site with district administration, elected public representatives, and local government officials to develop credible solutions to resolve the landowners’ concerns. He added that addressing landowner reservations is a priority so that the project may begin as soon as possible.
