Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has officially launched the "Ikhtiar Awam" portal, a new platform aimed at facilitating communication between the people and the government.
During the portal's launch ceremony in Peshawar, Gandapur emphasized that citizens can now register complaints directly, adding that unless there was communication between the people and government, problems can't be solved.
"All our officers have to provide relief to the people. If work is going on in your area, go and check its quality for yourself," Gandapur urged the citizens. He stressed that the portal would help improve governance, ensuring that officers provide relief to the people.

On another note, Gandapur addressed the issue of Afghan consul general allegedly disrespecting the Pakistani national anthem, saying different people are invited to various events, denying that there was any issue with the anthem.
