The City Council Monday unanimously approved the traditional neighborhood/ watchdog (Chowkidari) system for Peshawar city for protection of lives and property of masses. The House also unanimously passed a resolution to hand over the General Bus Stand from PDA to the Capital Metropolitan Government.
Speaking on the occasion, Mayor Peshawar Zubair Ali expressed resolve to make Peshawar city an example for other areas of the country by launching mega projects, adding that despite establishment of City Council, the Peshawar Uplift Program and Revival programme was being executed by some other department which was deplorable.
He said that a hospital in Kohati was closed from last 17 years and demanded of the provincial government to cancel the said lease of the said hospital and hand it over to Capital Metropolitan Government Peshawar, where a rehabilitation center would be set up in coordination with welfare organizations and trader communities for rehabilitation of drug addicts free of charge.
