PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Pervez Khattak has announced to provide fertilizer on 50 per cent discount to the farmers on the condition that they would sell 50 per cent of their produce to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to help achieve food security in the province.


“We are working on a crash plan to make the barren lands cultivable and use maximum of the area for agricultural purposes,” he said.
He was addressing a ceremony at the Tarnab Farm, Peshawar, after handing over 17 new bulldozers to the agriculture department and inaugurating a solar tube-well scheme on Monday, according to a handout.

Mr Khattak said that the engineering wing of the agriculture department was being strengthened to convert more barren land into fertile fields and orchards. He said that funds for purchase of more bulldozers would be increased next year.

Similarly, he said that solar irrigation tube-wells were being promoted to rid the farmers of loadshedding and ever-increasing power tariffs. He said that solar streetlights were being installed on the GT Road from Attock to Peshawar, Ring Road and all other highways to keep the main arteries brightened throughout the night.

The chief minister directed the agriculture department to introduce new seed, technology, fertilizers and pesticides and involve farmers in its activities to enhance agriculture production in the province.
The chief minister said that through the use of modern technology barren land in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which was more than the cultivable land, could be turned into fertile land and orchards.

Mr Khattak said that as compared to demand of 2.5 million tonnes of wheat the province was producing only 1.2 million tonnes, adding that huge difference in supply and demand could create food shortages in the province in future.

The chief minister said that construction of Chashma Right Bank Canal in DI Khan was his government’s top priority to improve the irrigation system with a view to bring about agricultural revolution and achieve food security in the province.He said the provincial government was also concentrating on other sectors of agriculture as it had initiated a Rs500 million scheme to promote fish and dairy farming and livestock breeding.

  1. Peshawar's Best Restaurants:

    The security issues that harass the city of Peshawar have impeded the development of city's dining scene, in contrast to what’s happening Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad. Fancy restaurants offering a particularly memorable experience are in short supply, although not entirely absent. However, Peshawar does not lack the flavourful, traditional food that makes Pakistani cooking so enticing. Find out the ten best restaurants to enjoy the taste of Pakistan in Peshawar.

    Celesté
    There are not many restaurants around the world that can juggle seven different but equally tantalising international cuisines under the same roof, but Celesté does just that. Unsurprisingly, the magnificent seven include some of the world's most popular and appreciated styles, plus a few exquisite local types: Italian, Mongolian, Thai, Mughlai, Lebanese, Japanese and Mexican are the options that Celesté's customers can craft their meal from. Besides the excellent and ever so diverse food, Celesté stands out in Peshawar as one of the restaurants in town most suited for a family dinner, due to its comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant boasts simple but sophisticated decor, and the possibility to enjoy a lovely meal in the outdoor dining area.

    Habibi

    Barbecued meats are a big part of Pakistani cooking, and Habibi is one of the most popular choices in Peshawar for an over-the-top, finger-licking barbecue bash - and at good prices! The Habibi Special Bar-B-Q Platter, the house's flagship offering, brings to the table kabli pulao (rice pilaf with lamb, cabbage, cauliflower and various nuts), malai tikka (skewered chicken prepared with yogurt, cheese, cardamom and cumin) and, of course, the roasted meats: chicken and beef kebab, chicken thighs and mutton ribs. The rest of the menu is packed with many inviting dishes, from the special selection of fish-based bites to the 'Mughlai Delights' - and don't overlook their delicious curries.

    Shiraz

    Pakistani cooking is a complex and elaborate range of scrumptious dishes, spices and flavours with a secular tradition and mixed influences from the Middle East, the Far East and the neighbouring India. Explore all the exotic nuances of such a rich culinary culture at restaurant Shiraz, a veritable centerpiece in Peshawar's dining scene. Shiraz is a failsafe choice to enjoy the highlights of Pakistan's and Afghanistan's gastronomy, prepared according to the traditional, delicious recipes that have been in the local families for years. Among the many tempting courses on offer, be sure to try the barbecued chicken, the national dish of Pakistan.

    Café Crunch

    Café Crunch is the dining miracle of food entrepreneur Sadia Bilour, a mother of two who, a few years ago, decided to open a cafe in Peshawar's University Town. Originally, Café Crunch was one outlet in a chain of cafes called Masoom's Café. But Bilour's efforts and skills transformed the spot in such a homely and popular food destination among Peshawarites that she was eventually able to claim her own special place in the city. Café Crunch is particularly recommended to those with a sweet tooth: mouth-watering cakes, pastries, cookies and all sorts of other sweets come out fresh off the oven everyday, giving a guilty pleasure to the many who will not resist the temptation.

    Layalina

    Darvesh

    Darvesh is an unpretentious, laid-back little spot in Peshawar serving authentic, traditional Pakistani staple. The rich menu includes a varied gamut of rices, soups, salads and the unmissable Pakistani meats, both barbecued and not, with a special selection of exquisite dishes prepared with the mutton meat that is so common in Pakistan. But Darvesh takes particular pride in its nans, the flatbreads baked in the tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven typical of Southern Asia. The cheese, garlic, mint, spicy, beef or chicken nans are only a few of the tantalising flatbreads that customers can enjoy at Darvesh. Stop here for an easy, fun meal in a relaxed atmosphere, or use Darvesh's takeaway service to enjoy their delicious food while strolling around the city.
