Chief Minister Pervez Khattak said on Wednesday that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led coalition government is leaving “no stone unturned” to provide better communication facilities for socio-economic progress and prosperity.
Chairing a meeting on the Swat Express Way at the CM Secretariat, Khattak directed practical work on the project be started as soon as possible. The chief minister was told that a comprehensive survey has been conducted following his special instructions in this regard.
The 81-km long Express Way will cost Rs28.3 billion while its completion will save commuters over two hours between Motorway Col Sher interchange and Chakdara. He also sanctioned the release of Rs2.3 billion for the purpose.
He stressed that tenders be invited for the Express Way and the services of the private sector must be hired on a transparent basis.

@Saleem: Do you think it will get completed in three years?
Let us see if the PTI is able to complete this project.
This is a very good project to execute. It will bring a very positive change in the economy of KP.
After one year in government, any head turning news?
