Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is currently unable to pay its teachers despite the province's history of infrastructure development, which included the construction of a medical centre, a medical college, and two universities. The Awami National Party (ANP) governed the province from 2008 to 2013, a period during which these facilities were established.
A former Chief Minister from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) claimed that the province does not suffer from a lack of funds. The PTI-led provincial administration held power for a 13-year period, during which the party reportedly lost Punjab to Maryam's delivery and noted that Sindh and Balochistan were never aligned with the PTI.
Interior Minister stated that the 'Long March' was not a significant concern because the Centre expected it to lose momentum on the motorway within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and believed the government could manage the remaining marchers in the Federal Capital. Security concerns remain high as terrorism in parts of the province, particularly the southern districts, requires immediate attention.
Terrorists are reportedly in possession of military hardware and abandoned weapons from the United States. Police forces require reorganisation, relief, and resolute leadership, alongside a recoupment in manpower, weapons, equipment, and direction.
