Pakistan yet again delays decision on 17-year-old Khyber Pakhtunkhwa bypass project
Islamabad, April 21 (IANS) Pakistan’s federal government has delayed a decision on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s offer to provide Rs 4 billion in bridge financing for the long-pending Peshawar Northern Bypass project, even as the crucial infrastructure initiative continues to face setbacks. Despite the provincial government stepping forward with financial support to push the project ahead, the Centre has indicated that the 30-km road project will not meet its June 30 completion deadline this year, according to local media reports.
