KARACHI: (Dunya News) Chief Minister Sindh, Syed Qaim Ali Shah has said that a strong check will be kept on the IDPs in order to prevent any terrorists from setting foot on Sindh s soil in the guise of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). He said that the Sindh Rangers and law enforcement agencies will ensure that no terrorist is able to break into Sindh s territory. He also said that the IDPs will be allowed to settle in the camps only after a thorough check. The Chief Minister also said that the camps will be situated near the borders of the province and that the IDPs will be checked methodically before being registered at the camps.
It was previously blamed by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf s government in KPK that Punjab and Sindh were not allowing the IDPs to enter in their provinces. PTI Chief, Imran Khan, had also leveled the same allegations and had complained in a press conference that Khyber Pakhtunkhawa Government had been left on its own by the other provinces in this hour of need. Punjab and Sindh Governments had later clarified that there was no such restriction and Chief Minister Punjab, Mian Shehbaz Sharif, had stated that the doors of Punjab were open for the IDPs and that entire Punjab and entire Pakistan belonged to these IDPs.

These roads have been constructed with a budget of two hundred and seventy million rupees. He assured the investors of his complete support for industrialization in the province. He also said that the government would be more than willing to provide funds upon the request of the investors. He said that he was looking for the investors to share their views and suggestions with the government to boost the economy and business conditions in the province.
The Chief Minister Sindh also lent complete support to the military operation that is currently going on in the North Waziristan Agency. He said that the fallout of the operation could take the entire country in its folds; therefore, it was mandatory for the government to keep a strong check on the provincial borders. He said that the investors did not need to worry about the security situation as government was leaving no stone unturned in keeping the environment of the province peaceful and free of terrorists.
Industrialists thanked the provincial chief executive for his all out support in provision of the funds and also requested more funds for the development in the site area.
