Bilour directs CDMD to
expedite city uplift
Staff Reporter
Peshawar—The NWFP Senior Minister and Minister for Local Govt and
Rural Development Bashir Ahmad Bilour has instructed all the
concerned authorities to ensure the timely and quality completion of
all the ongoing projects for urban development including
construction and widening of roads, beautification of the city and
provision of basic civic facilities to the people in Peshawar while
new projects involving heavy funds should be avoided any how.
Addressing a briefing by the CDMD at Hayatabad Peshawar he further
directed to construct under passes instead of fly-overs on important
squares of the congested traffic highways to improve the traffic
system in the city. He asked for preparing feasibility of at least
10 under-passes immediately at various places including Haji Camp,
Gul Bahar, Hashtnagri, Jinnah Park, Soekarno Chowk, Bacha Khan Chowk,
Tehkal, University Town and Board Chowk. He assured that funds for
this purpose would be arranged well in time while maps have also
been acquired from Lahore and Karachi cities.
Bashir Bilour also directed for installation of traffic signals at
important squires of the city circular road including Ramdas,
Dabgari, Sarki, Kohati, Yakatoot and Gunj Gates, saying that it
would help in controlling the traffic jam for hours and easing
difficulties of the citizens in this regard.
He said that all the concerned authorities must complete
developmental schemes in their personal supervision instead of
wasting times in their offices while he would himself inspect
ongoing schemes time and again as well and would never hesitate
punishing the absent or lethargic officials.
