PESHAWAR: NWFP Chief Minister Ameer Haidar Khan Hoti on Monday said the process of distribution of payment among the victims of Swat will start soon and funds for this purpose will shortly be released.

“The process of rehabilitation and development of the victims will be completed with the passage of time,” he said during a meeting with a delegation of the Swat District Bar Association at his office.

On the occasion, provincial ministers Wajid Ali Khan and Ayub Khan Ashari, MPA Dr Shamsher, renowned legal expert Abdul Latif Afridi and Peshawar High Court Bar Association’s General Secretary Esa Khan were also present.

The delegation applauded the efforts of Hoti and his government for restoring peace in Swat, reinforcing government’s writ and announcing Adl Regulation. The delegation assured the chief minister that the lawyer community will support the government’s efforts.

ìThe people of Swat have rendered great sacrifices and the conditions there are gradually changing to normalcy. Our first priority is to compensate the relatives of the Shuhadas and the injured, for which a committee is established,” said the chief minister.

Citing the provisions of Adl Regulation, the chief minister said that for providing speedy justice to the people, the civil and criminal cases will be decided in six and four months, respectively.
