PESHAWAR:
The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Civil Secretariat got a makeover in just a day on Thursday as the authorities learnt that Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi would chair the meeting of Council of Common Interests (CCI) at its premises on Friday (today).
However, the venue of the 34th CCI meeting has now been changed from Peshawar to Islamabad.
An open yard in front of the newly established cabinet room of the Civil Secretariat Peshawar got a gross carpet, flowerpots and steel grill in just a single day for the CCI meeting.
On Thursday morning, dozens of sanitary workers, labourers and gardeners were busy removing scraps, leftover of the ongoing construction work and washing the stairs of the Abdul Wali Khan Multiplex.
"We worked until 11 o'clock to dig this lawn turf out," said a worker who was busy in laying a lawn turf in the empty yard in front of the cabinet room. His other colleagues were unloading the remaining rolls of lawn turf from a Suzuki van which they had brought from Tarnab area, located on the east of Peshawar city.

"We were asked to spread the lawn in a day and it is done," said another worker who was also busy with the lawn work.
Flowerpots – with blossoming marigold flowers – were placed in a circle in the middle of the freshly laid lawn while the corridors of the cabinet room got hanging pots. A group of workers was welding iron bars to fence the lawn while others were painting the fence white.
All broken-down and scrap vehicles which were parked in front of the yard since long were removed, the area was levelled and white lines were marked for car parking.
All the efforts and preparation went in vain when the prime minister changed the venue to Islamabad and the Ministry of Inter Provincial Coordination issued a notification in this regard.
An official of the establishment department, requesting anonymity, said they knew about the venue change beforehand but did not inform the officials concerned as “the places were getting cleaned".
