KARAK, Nov 17: A jirga comprising elders from across Karak will be held on Nov 26 to discuss issues of low gas pressure, establishment of oil refinery and jobs to local educated youths in the oil and gas exploration companies operating in the district.

The meeting was attended by leaders of PTI, JI, JUI-F, JUI-S, PML-N, Khattak Ittehad, Karak welfare organisation, Chountra Ittehad, Banda gas action committee, lawyers` community and traders. The participants complained that educated youth were jobless while the gas companies were offering jobs to people of other districts.

Meanwhile, people criticised the PTI-led provincial government for failing to bring about the promised change in health centres.

They said all hospitals of the district, including the district headquarters hospital, were facing shortage of doctors and other required facilities.
