PESHAWAR: More than five months have passed since the PTI government’s flagship mega-project, the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) was inaugurated by Prime Minister Imran Khan in Peshawar, but most bus stations have yet to have proper bathrooms for passengers.
Empty bathroom stalls have turned into piles of rubbish due to lack of water and sanitation equipment in the bathrooms.
Moreover, the stalls are reportedly taken over by drug addicts after sundown.
Additionally, three commercial plazas were also to be built to increase the project’s revenue, which are still incomplete.

The Peshawar Development Authority director-general said that construction work was halted due to “problems with the contractors” and claimed it will be resumed in the next 20 to 25 days.
“The work on bathrooms and commercial plazas will be completed soon,” he said.
