Byepass
Inauguration -A CM does it again
Chitral -- Chief Minister Khyber Pokhtun Khwa Haider Khan Hoti
inaugurated the Chitral Bazaar Byepass road, here this
afternoon. The inauguration plaque named the Byepass as Khan
Abdul Wali Khan Byepass road which is estimated to cost 34 crore
rupees. About 23 crore rupees have already been released for the
purpose The Chief Minister pledged to give remaining money for
completion of the road. It may be pointed out that this is the
third time that the said byepass road has been inaugurated by
chief ministers, but for mysterious reasons work never started.
on it.
First inauguration took place in 1996 when the then Chief
Minister NWFP Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao cut the ribbon and
unveiled the inauguration plague but before the CM's aircraft
landed back in Peshawar conspiracy had begun to shelve the
project which was successful and the CM did not even bother to
inquire as to why his inaugurated project was failed by lower
level. operatives. Then during the MMA govt 2006 the then chief
Minister Akram Durrani announced at the polo ground that the
byepass road work would be launched immediately but that too
proved to be mere bluff.
This time again the remote fear (twice bitten third time shy) is that though the project may be
launched because money has been released but it could be
corrupted by breaking the project into pieces and hurriedly
starting construction on partial portion before acquiring the
complete land, to pocket the heavy commissions involved in
construction while ditching the acquisition part as there are no
commissions in it..
Citizens of Chitral town have thanked the CM for his
inauguration of the byepass project and demanded that in the
first phase land acquisition of the complete road be made and
thereafter work on construction be started in the next phase,
otherwise it will be assumed that conspiracy is again afoot for
failing the project. which has been successfully failed
twice in the past. .--CN report,
