PESHAWAR: A modern services club will be built on 34 kanals of reclaimed land at the junction of Ring Road and Hayatabad Khwar (river).

The project, part of the Peshawar Uplift Programme’s Phase-II, would be supervised by Peshawar division commissioner Riaz Khan Mehsud, according to a press release issued here on Tuesday.

The initiative is part of the public service agenda of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.
