Peshawar Metro Bus Project Cost Increased to 57 BILLION

[Khan Walli Khan]

The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s (K-P) Provincial Working Development Party (PWDP) on Tuesday approved the revised Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project with a 54 per cent increase in the total cost to Rs57 billion as against December 2016’s estimation of Rs37 billion.


Improper mapping of the project by the two stakeholders – Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Transport Department and Peshawar Development Authority – is said to be the reason behind the sudden cost overrun.

The project’s documents presented in the PWDP meeting, a copy of which is available with The Express Tribune, showed the cost of the project increased due to inclusion of Sunehri Masjid Alignment, institutional costs, resettlement costs, land requisition resettlement cost, utilities relocation, financing charges and fleet scraping charges.

Just WOW - The cost of this project will exceed the total combined cost of LAHORE + MULTAN METRO. And here we HAD IK Saying they will build a metro for 4 billion (This guy turned out to be real JOKE).

Lahore Metro = 27 Billion Multan Metro = 29 Billion Total : 27 + 29 = 56 Billion

AND ONE MORE GEM:

Jub kutch kero gy to daal chawal ka bhao pata chaley, jub Khyali chawal becho to jo marzi us ki qeemat laga lo

It's not just corruption which is inflating the cost, it is incompetence of the people who are working on this project. This implies that ‘merit’ has been ignored by the hiring managers and ‘Parchi’ system prevailed.

Once I thought that PTI is a hope for Pakistan, but instead of following the agenda they use all their energies on negative campaign and bashing. And all his followers from PPP descendant blindly cheer him because of their anti N- league "ghutti". And now we are witnessing the effects.

PTI has a very strong agenda they don't need any negative campaign. Action speak louder than words. Destroy these corrupts with your performance please. Bashing will do nothing as we are witnessing this practice since 90s .

 

[Kambojaric]

Dayum. Thats a huge increase.

 

[Fledgingwings]

How shameful for us as a nation to have such politicians whom are so personal humuliating to each other (all of them).with people like these pakistan can never acheive inter provisional harmony.

 

[313ghazi]

This will be humiliating for PTI.

As i always said "IK biggest enemy is IK himself". He always talk first and think second and that is the main reason of IK downfall. Once i was thinking to use my vote first time on him but later i found him not suitable for the job. a true leader will never took back his words and that is why he thinks first before speak

PTI should have waited till next election, ab bohat lanat parne wali hai in per election year mein lol This thing will cost more then Lahore and Multan metro bus combined. And unlike punjab, PTI is taking loan of Rs 50 billion from ADB.

Pehle 13 bad mein 37 aur ab 57, is se mein 50 loan hai hahahaha
