BARA: Member Provincial Assembly (MNA) Muhammad Shafiq Afridi said on Friday that the government would reopen all closed premises that were shut in the days of militancy in Khyber tribal district.
Speaking at the reopening ceremony of Qambarabad Market in Bara Bazaar, he said the government’s top priority was to reopen closed business and trade centres.
He added the security forces had closed the Qambarabad Market 15 years ago due to militancy.
“We want to make Bara a hub of business once again,” the MPA said, adding that Bara bazaar was a famous trade centre in Pakistan.
He said the tribal people’s infrastructure was destroyed by militants and military operations.
