This is impressive, but if you factor in the population difference, it becomes even more impressive that how much is invested on education and health.

But merely allocating won't do it, now it's time to implement it and use the money wisely.



What is the difference b/w Security and Police? Security covers 1122 etc?

And I would have wanted the tourism and environment to have more of a share, but I guess that could be done later...education, health etc were the pressing issues. Even without a big budget, tourism can be promoted.

BTW, 1% tax on Afghan transit trade.

security in kpk is differnt than other provinces so mayb thy hav therefore included somthing more other than police for security purpose...

@AstanoshKhan can tell da differnce more clearly?

security in kpk is first so thy gave it more importnce then afta dat thy can work on tourism and environment....security nai hogi tu tourism kesey hoga?

If half of it gets implemented... Apnay Tho Waray Niyaray Hojayengay... Insha'Allah Ye Budget Implement Hoga.

- Female teachers observing duties in the far flung and remote areas of KPK shall be granted a raise of 50 PERCENT in their salaries.

1- Land record is being computerized.
.....

IMO, this is the most important point for every province and city. The LDA blaze clearly showed the vulnerability of paper records and opens the chances for land-grabbing.

Good point.

I think it comes under the development fund of the city or province as a whole.

I would like to suggest KPK govenrment to follow Lahore. We have formed a committee called Dilkash Lahore and the Lahore Walled City Authority (LWCA). They keep an eye on encroachments and get funding from Punjab Government + World Bank + Agha Khan to preserve historic sites.
