CHITRAL: An emergency meeting of town power committee was held at Mordeh Mosque under the chair of Khan Hayatullah Khan Chairman power committee. The meeting was attended by a large number of its members  as well as Pesh Imams of different Mosques. The members discussed  different issues and passed a unanimous resolution. Through a  resolution they demanded for construction of a separate by pass road to solve problem of traffic rush on present road and opposed of extending of present road because by pass road means an alternate  road. They thanked provincial Chief Minster for approving of by pass road but lamented C&W staff who use different delay tactics in this mega project and want to extend the present road  only to save the
money as result 250 shops would be demolished and thousands of people would be jobless. They urged on Chairman WAPDA to vow his promise during his visit to Chitral for up-gradation of micro hydro power house at Singor having the capacity of 800 KV only. They demanded for solving shortage of fire wood in Chitral and urged on local administration to assure supply of wood on reasonable rates as well as to keep restore check post at Danin near district jail to discourage smuggling of firewood to outside of town.
