PESHAWAR: Though the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is in power in both the centre and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the provincial government isn’t happy with the federal government due to the non-fulfilment of its commitment to pay Rs100 billion annually for reconstruction and development projects in the erstwhile Fata and the delay in payment of its share in the net hydel profit.
When approached for his comments, Chief Minister Mahmood Khan said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is facing shortage of funds and it may even seek a bank loan to meet its needs. “We need regular flow of funds as the province is dependent on the federal government for 92 percent of its receipts,” he added.
