Here is some of the road infrastructure development in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during this term.
Roads in Swat Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ...............
Bab e Peshawar Interchange
Other than this, many rural roads have been paved throughout Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and sustainable street lights that run on solar power have been installed in many places in order to not put more load onto the National Grid. Many micro hydel projects have been done all over Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to provide villages with electricity. Also Peshawar has an amazing waste management system and major Peshawar roads are cleaned with road cleaning trucks at night. These are just a few changes that have happened in this term.
