PESHAWAR: Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Finance Minister Engineer Muhammad Hamayun said that the construction of an expressway and industrial estate would change Palai Darra’s fate by encouraging trade and business activities.

He expressed these views on Sunday in a ceremony held at Palai Darra to welcome new entrants. Hamayun added that the new expressway from Swabi Interchange would ensure enhanced transportation facilities and give people greater accessibility to purchase everyday commodities.

The govt is planning to establish an industrial estate on the expressway to bolster economic activities besides generating new employment opportunities, he added.
