Minister for Education Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Shahram Tarakai on Tuesday directed the district administrations of Swabi, Mardan, Mohmand and Charsadda districts to finalize at earliest a plan featuring identification of alternate routes, installation of weighing scales and availability of staff to resolve issues pertaining to overloaded vehicles which led to traffic congestion and caused damage to roads.
He expressed these views while chairing a meeting of the cabinet committee, which had been constituted for sorting out roads and overloaded vehicles-related problems of Swabi, Buner and Mohmand districts.
He directed that the deputy commissioner and the district police officer of the district concerned should present the plan in the next meeting of the committee, adding the plan should be prepared after taking all stakeholders on board. He said that the implementation strategy of new laws should also be presented to the committee for approval. He directed the officials concerned that all vehicles of those districts should use the main route in these districts while branch roads will never be used by loaded vehicles.
