Agreed, however right now, they need to clear the grounds from the millions of land mines. Wouldnt want cows to get airborne all of sudden do you?sri_lion said:Nice ideas but I'm not sure whether I can really agree with this part, during the past govt. rule because of the imports that were permitted we nearly killed our agri industry, and also we know what happened to the farmers, they driven to the extremes and finally ended up taking their own lives!
The problem is with the traders, not with the supply or the demand, the traders too greedy trying to make it look like there's a shortage always! These should be countered first and should be taken tough measures against them!
Now that the North is liberated there's a huge opportunity to get back that solid agri culture based economy we had decades ago, as I've heard the North and the North Eastern parts are the Ideal places for this, flat lands, rich soil.... we must make use of these first before trying to import everything, and there's no point importing things that can be easily grown here...

Also the basic infrastructure need to be re built in those areas before serious industry can be started.
