Progress in Motion: Land Acquisition Begins for Peshawar-DI Khan Motorway!
Travel between Peshawar and Dera Ismail Khan, a city in Pakistan, will be quicker and easier thanks to this new road. Likewise, it will support the creation of fresh company possibilities and jobs.
What is Happening Next?
A meeting chaired by Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur decided to start buying the land right away. The finance department will arrange the necessary funds. The plan is to begin work on the motorway soon.
The motorway will help people travel faster, encourage business growth, and make transportation safer. It will connect many important cities and towns.

Along with the motorway, the KP government also approved some other projects that will help people in the region:
1. Medical College in Haripur
Rs 300 million will be spent to build a medical and dental college in Haripur.
2. Mezban Project for Tourism
The government will give loans to improve tourist facilities in places like Dir, Chitral, Swat, and Mansehra.

Why Is This Concept Important?
The Peshawar-DI Khan Motorway is highly valued in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa district because it will not only speed up travel but also create a lot of jobs and new business opportunities, which will help the area grow and boost the quality of life for its people. With government backing, the motorway will soon be constructed, improving everyone’s quality of life.
