PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has issued yet another deadline for completion of the much-delayed Bus Rapid Transit project, saying that it will now be operational by April this year. KP Information Minister Shaukat Yousafzai made the announcement on Tuesday through a television talk show. Speaking at a talk show, Yousafzai said the final phase of the BRT project will be completed by Feb 15, adding that 50 buses are available to start the service. Replying to a query, Yousafzai said, the government assured Supreme Court for the timely completion of the project in June last year. It merits a mention here that the project’s cost has also jumped to Rs68 billion from earlier Rs49 billion.
