Mohib stressed the need for further reinforcement of security forces and said the government had determined the shortages of security organs in battle field and they would be fulfilled soon.
Mohib told Pajhwok Afghan News: “Unfortunately, no attention has been paid to Paktia in the past and the province need more work. People of this province have supported the government in difficult situation and we are thankful to them and fundamental projects should be established here.”
Residents of Paktia emphasized on urban development, implementation of development projects, appointment of Paktia youth in different posts and participation in peace process and called on government leaders to fulfill their promises.
They warned of staging huge protests if the promises had not fulfilled.
Mohib assured Paktia residents for paying serious attention to their demands and would pave the way for a meeting with President Ahsraf Ghani in near future.
