Peshawar:
Chairman of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), Major General (Retd) Hafeez-Ur-Rehman, visited Bacha Khan Markaz to repair ties with Awami National Party (ANP) President Aimal Wali Khan, after a recent dispute. The meeting ended on a positive note where both leaders embraced and leaned their differences.
