PESHAWAR, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Jul, 2018 ) :The Peshawar High Court on Thursday referred the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project to the National Accountability Bureau for further investigation.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice of Peshawar High Court Justice Waqar Ahmed Seth and Justice Mussarat Hilali, announcing judgment in the much-trumpeted case, directed NAB Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to probe alleged irregularities in the project, which has been marred by one delay after another.
The court directed the anti-graft body to investigate why the BRT project was not completed on time and why its costs escalated.
The deadline for completion of the BRT project has been delayed several times. The first deadline was April 20, which was extended by a month to May 20. The project director had told media that the civil work would be completed by June 20, which was also missed.
Earlier this month, NAB Khyber Pakhtunkhwa asked the Peshawar Development Authority to submit record of the mega project, after NABChairman Justice (retired) Javed Iqbal ordered an inquiry into allegedcorruption and delay in completion of the BRT project.
