The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government will provide free WiFi service in the public parks located in Peshawar.

This was decided in a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. The meeting pondered over further beautifying capital city of the province. CM Gandapur issued directives to the relevant authorities to finalise the arrangements and also present the plan of free WiFi service for approval from the provincial government.

He further said that in the next phase the service will be expanded to other cities. Gandapur also directed the Peshawar Development Authority to prepare a plan for the city’s beatification.

With the view to facilitate the citizens’ smooth travelling, the meeting decided to launch a Bus Rapid Transit service on Nasir Bagh Road in Peshawar.

He also ordered to complete repair works on the road around the BRT Corridor at the University Road. The chief minister directed to place artificial plants on the pathways on all roads along with painting walls and head bridges with designs to promote KP’s culture.
