The provincial governor went to the Chapa Dara, Manogai and Watapur districts on a two-day junket to meet with the district sub-governors and line directors, as well as village elders and shura members to better connect the provincial government with the district governments. A few key issues addressed during the visits were the new budgeting processes and reconciliation.
