Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has announced that 3G/4G internet services will become operational in Waziristan from today (Wednesday).

PM Imran shared that the news with the people of Waziristan while addressing a Kamyab Jawan Programme’s cheque distribution ceremony in Wana.

“We are trying to resolve your problems. From today, 3G and 4G services will become functional,” he said, adding that it was the demand of the youth of the area that they had 3G and 4G services.

The premier shared that 3G and 4G services were not available in the region earlier as the government feared that it might be used for terrorism. He added that he spoke to the army leadership about the issue and was informed that it was a need of the youth of the area.

“I spoke to the army and we decided that we will provide this facility,” said PM Imran.

The premier assured the people that the government will also allocate more scholarship for the people of the area.

He also told the people that he will bring an olive revolution to the area, as the product is commonly grown there.

“Olive will bring a lot of money to the area,” he said, announcing that a dam will also be built in the area to resolve water woes of the locals.

The PM assured the people that his government will work on uplifting the poor segments of the society and backward areas including the tribal districts.
