PESHAWAR, Dec 28 (APP):Chief Minister KP Pervez Khan has directed for accelerated work on Rs 1.38 billion construction and renovation work at Arbab Niaz Cricket ground bringing it to the international standard with hostel and other allied
facilities for the stay of the players etc.
He was presiding over a presentation to review the progress on beautification of tourists resorts and tehsil sports grounds at Chief Minister House Peshawar.

The youth, he said should have all recreational and sporting facilities to harness their capabilities for more creative purposes in the province.
Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak has asked the tourism department to provide camping facilities
in the touristic and scenic areas of the province at secure places to enable the tourists to install their camps and arrange their stays on their own instead of looking for costly hotels and motels.
He said he had approved the construction of a new highway with camping and stay spots from Kalam Swat to Kumrat Dir
Upper to connect all the touristic places between the two districts. He
expressed the confidence that the new road from Kalam to Kumrat would
not only connect Swat and Dir Upper but enough tourism facilities would
be provided to the people and would thus enable families to spend weeks
touring scenic places between two districts.
He directed heads of all the departments to
create separate maintenance and rehabilitation cells to carry out all
such tasks immediately instead of wasting time for the procedural work.
Such delays affected the developmental and beautification works of
nation building departments, he added.
Chief
Minister directed for the construction of the remaining portion of road
leading to the new touristic spot Kapar Banda in Shangla district and
asked the concerned authorities to arrange funds for the purpose.
He
asked the tourism department to hold meeting with Galiyat Development

the people through the dynamism of private sector.
