Sohail Afridi Khyber Projects, Launches Rs2 Billion KP Development Plan
CM Announces Rs2 Billion Development Package for Khyber District, Focuses on Education, Water and Roads
Peshawar – (Staff Reporter/Web Desk) – KP development took a major leap forward as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi kicked off five big development schemes in Khyber district on Saturday. The Sohail Afridi Khyber projects, worth over Rs2 billion combined, mark one of the biggest local investment moves in recent months.
During his visit, the Chief Minister said building strong infrastructure and serving the public remain top goals for his government. He met with local officials and residents before formally launching the projects.
Among the announced works is a new Nursing College in Jamrud, built at a cost of Rs636 million. This facility aims to boost healthcare training in the region and create fresh job paths for local youth.
Another standout project is the launch of Artificial Intelligence classes at the Institute of Applied Sciences. Backed by Rs32 million, this step shows the province wants to bring modern tech skills to its students.
Clean water access also got a strong boost. Twenty-one drinking water schemes will now be rebuilt and fitted with solar power, costing Rs502 million. This move should ease water shortages for many households while cutting reliance on costly electricity.
The bustling Jamrud Bazaar is set for a fresh look too. A Rs430 million beautification plan will improve the market’s appearance and make it more welcoming for shoppers and traders alike.
Roads didn’t miss out either. The Takhta Beg to D Tour Road in Bara, stretching 10 kilometres, will be widened and upgraded at a cost of Rs424 million. Better roads mean smoother travel and stronger trade links for local communities.
Later in the day, the Chief Minister spoke at a Traders Convention held by the PTI Traders Wing. He shared his party’s stance on national politics, security matters, and the country’s economy.
Afridi didn’t hold back while discussing the province’s past struggles. He said Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has faced years of being overlooked and has paid a heavy price due to terrorism. He praised the courage of local people and security forces who worked hard to bring peace back to the region.
His speech struck a hopeful tone, pointing toward a future built on growth, safety, and better living standards for residents. With these fresh projects rolling out, many locals are hopeful that real change is finally on its way.
The government says more development plans are in the pipeline, aiming to bring similar upgrades to other parts of the province soon.
