Priority issues & challenges
1. Road infrastructure
Road connectivity has improved in Ghalanai, Ekka Ghund, and Pindiali, but many rural and mountainous roads remain poorly maintained and are affected by heavy rains and flash floods.
2. Water supply
Communities in Ghalanai, Safi, Pindiali, and Baizai face shortages of safe drinking water due to limited water supply infrastructure and increasing demand.
3. Health
Healthcare services are available through DHQ Hospital Ghalanai and THQ Hospital Ekka Ghund, but remote areas such as Safi and Pindiali still have limited access to specialized healthcare.
4. Unemployment
Limited industrial development and private-sector investment contribute to high unemployment, particularly among youth across the district.
5. Environmental challenges
Deforestation, water scarcity, land degradation, and flash floods affect Safi, Pindiali, Baizai, and other parts of Mohmand District.
