PESHAWAR (Dunya News) - Today, Prime Minister Imran Khan along with Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmmod Khan will inaugurate the Peshawar BRT project.

According to details, Peshawar BRT project, which has faced several delays over the past few years, was launched by PTI government during its previous term in the province.

Reportedly, cost of the project, which began in October 2017, was evaluated at Rs49 billion with a timeline of 6 months. However, the final cost has now escalated to over Rs70 billion.
