But, in the time being everything has been put as accord to the proposed plane, and for onwards the project will go smoothly towards the completion, Shah Mohammad claimed. Starting the marathon of deadlines from 2017 — where the last one was supposed to hit the roads in March 2019, even, this time the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KPK) government has fervently set the new deadline on the account that Asian Development Bank has set the target of December 2021 for the completion of the project Thus, if KP’s government would meet the deadline, it will stand one and a half years early. Meanwhile, Ajmal Wazir criticized the opposition parties for politicizing the project. And said that once the project gets complete, we would welcome all kinds of investigation. As for now, when the initial estimated cost of the project Rs 49 billion surged to Rs 68 billion, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) started an investigation into the matter on December 2019, as per the directives of the Peshawar High Court (PHC), then KPK government moved the Supreme Court (SC) to stop the interrogation. On the other hand, the assessment of FIA continues, and on Tuesday FIA has searched for extra time from PHC to test into the issue, as, by the rules, FIA shall complete its investigation in 45 days.
