Also, there are important issues in the province, such as the rail connection and the water issue, which are among the demands of the people of the province, and we are following these two issues.”

Pointing out that preliminary measures have been taken for rail connection and water supply, the President clarified, “The work in the field of housing, both in the field of land transfer and in the field of housing construction, has progressed well in South Khorasan, and this is followed in the province until we achieve the desired result.”

Raisi stated that the Administration considers any service and work for the very good, pious, sincere, and friendly people of South Khorasan province as a great success and noted, “In this trip, both the resolutions of the previous trip and the removal of obstacles and possible problems that any of these plans face will be followed up.”

Thank God, the problem created by the enemies will be defeated with the resistance and standing of the people, and the work of construction and progress in the country will continue.”

Raisi stated, “In this trip, unlike the previous trip where we were not able to meet people due to the COVID situation, we will also meet people to hear their demands closely.”
