(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) KHAR: Despite directives given by governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to withdraw tax on food items, the political administration of Bajaur Agency hasn't applied which has piqued the tribal people.

Speaking at a press conference in Bajaur Press Club, Farhad Ali, the chairman of All Fata Students Students Forum slammed the political administration of Bajaur Agency for not following the orders issued by Governor of KP Zafar Iqbal Jhagra to waive tax on food items and material used for rehabilitation of Temporary displaced persons (TDPs).

Farhad and other members of All Fata Students Forum threatened the government to implement the orders issued otherwise the youth of Bajaur will hold long protests across the tehsil and head toward the governor house.

A week ago, a notification was issued by the governor house in which all the officials and departments were directed to ensure there was no collection of any tax on food items or material used for development works for the rehabilitation of temporary displaced persons.
