His predecessor Israrul Haq had been fired on Wednesday over a damning report pertaining to the delay in Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. Consequently, the provincial leadership had issued a notification, explaining the installation of Khan as the new PDA DG. However, upon learning of the new PDA DG’s case with the NAB, KP Chief Minister Mahmood Khan ordered that Khan be instantly removed, his spokesperson Shaukat Yousafzai said. “A neat and clean senior officer will be appointed as the director-general [of the PDA] very soon,” Yousafzai noted. Wednesday’s report had highlighted a multitude of technical errors, faulty design, and inept planning that caused heavy losses to the exchequer.
