“This will cater to our housing needs for the next two, three decades and will reduce pressure on Peshawar,” director general, Peshawar Development Authority, Qazi Mohammad Laiq told the press .
“It will include a medical city and an educational city. Planning will be done on modern lines. It is going to be the jewel of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” he remarked.
The Planning and Development Department has approved its concept papers and a request has been made to the chief minister Hoti to convene a meeting to give formal approval, said Mr Qazi who expects the groundbreaking ceremony of Asfandyar City somewhere in June, 2012. “Asfandyar City will be bigger than Hayatabad and Regi Model Town put together,” he revealed.

  1. After living a long time in one place and in the same rut, I feel that for a certain time it is enough, that I must refresh myself with other horizons and other faces. . . and at the same time must retire into myself, strange as that sounds. The superficial distractions of the journey do not interfere.
