KP Chief Minister Launches Online Open Courts With 14-Day Complaint Deadlines

The initiative imposes a 14-day deadline with mandatory compliance reports to enforce accountability.

Overview

  • The first online session focused on Bajaur, where Chief Minister Sohail Afridi heard complaints directly and issued on-the-spot orders to officials.
  • Framed as an extension of Imran Khan’s public-engagement model, the programme requires resolution of all cases within 14 days followed by detailed compliance reports.
  • Education directives enforced a one-teacher-per-40-students standard, prioritized issues faced by second-shift staff, and ordered timely salary deposits and use of approved funds for missing facilities.
  • Transport orders mandated adherence to passenger limits and posted fare lists across the province, with licences to be cancelled for violations.
  • Health authorities were told to verify doctors’ attendance through surprise inspections, while the former FATA Games were revived and timely completion of Bajaur development projects was stressed.
