Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has directed relevant authorities to expedite pending civil works at various reaches and stations of the TransPeshawar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor and complete them within the stipulated timelines.
The directives were issued at a meeting chaired by Special Assistant to the Chief Minister for Transport and Mass Transit Samiullah Khan to review progress on civil works being executed under the Peshawar Development Authority (PDA).

The meeting reviewed work at several locations, including Mall of Hayatabad, Chamkani, Reach-I from Malik Saad Flyover, Reach-II from Malik Saad Flyover to Aman Chowk and Reach-III from Aman Chowk to Karkhano Market.
Mr Khan sought clear timelines for completion and handover of the pending works and directed officials to remove technical and administrative hurdles to ensure timely completion.
He said all relevant departments should coordinate to resolve outstanding issues and accelerate development work. He also warned that no compromise would be made on the quality of construction and directed that all works be completed according to prescribed standards and technical requirements.
The special assistant ordered closer monitoring of ongoing works and said progress on the projects would be reviewed regularly.
He said the provincial government was continuing work on public transport projects to provide citizens with safer and modern travelling facilities and that timely completion of such schemes was essential in the public interest.
