PESHAWAR, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Apr, 2026) The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on Tuesday unanimously passed two important resolutions calling for austerity measures to be adopted as a national behavior and for immediate steps to prevent alleged drone attacks in Tehsil Bara.

The House stressed the need for effective use of resources, reduction in unnecessary expenditures and protection of citizens from security threats.

The first resolution was moved by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz MPA Amina Sardar, who termed austerity a national necessity in view of the current economic conditions.

The resolution appreciated Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s austerity campaign and called for expanding it beyond the government level to make it a national practice.

According to the resolution, government institutions should ensure responsible and efficient use of energy and resources, reduce unnecessary expenses and promote simplicity at the official level.

It also recommended creating awareness about austerity in educational institutions through curriculum and practical activities, while public awareness campaigns should be launched to discourage extravagance in weddings and other ceremonies.

The Assembly also recommended effective implementation of the one-dish policy, closure of marriage halls by 10 p.m. and shutting shopping malls and commercial centers by 9 p.m.

The resolution further called for reviewing unnecessary government posts and administrative burdens, especially at the district level, and limiting additional staff, including assistant commissioners, according to actual need to prevent wastage of public resources.

Meanwhile, MPA Abdul Ghani presented another resolution regarding alleged drone attacks in Tehsil Bara, stating that despite being a peaceful area, the region was facing attacks on a daily basis.

He said innocent civilians, particularly women and children, were being affected while property was also suffering damage.

He urged the House to take immediate and concrete measures to stop such attacks and ensure the protection of human lives and public safety.

Both resolutions were passed unanimously by the Assembly.
