Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Mahmood Khan said on Sunday that the Executive Committee of the Economic Coordination Council (ECNEC) gave approval to the construction of Peshawar North Bypass and various power projects. The chief minister said that ECNEC approved the construction of Peshawar North Bypass that will decrease the traffic flow in Peshawar city. Moreover, the committee also approved the construction of 157-MV power station in Madyan area of Swat and 88-MV Gabral powerhouse in Kalam Valley. He said that the completion of power projects will enable the authorities to provide electricity to industries on discounted rates. The electricity supplies at discounted rates to the industries will bring economic revolution in the province besides creating employment for youth.
