ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Monday barred the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from probing alleged irregularities in the Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. Additionally, the apex court sought details of the total cost as well as details regarding the completion of the project. While the top court stopped the FIA from investigating the project, the KP government said the new date for the completion of the Peshawar BRT is July 31 of this year. FIA PROBES BRTIn December last year, a five-member special inquiry team of the FIA, KP, had started a probe into alleged irregularities in the Peshawar BRT project in line with the PHC’s directions.
