PESHAWAR, Feb 6: Salim Khan and Sardar Hussain, the PPP members of the KP assembly from lower and upper Chitral, on Friday warned the government to immediately open the under-construction Lowari tunnel for traffic for full two days at the weekend. Speaking at a press conference at Peshawar Press Club, they said if the KP government did not fulfil its promise of making payment to the Korean construction company for the opening of the tunnel for two full days by February 10, they would resign from their seats. The MPAs said they would also boycott the forthcoming Senate elections. The National Highway Authority (NHA) was unable to keep the tunnel open for 48 days at the weekend as the provincial government was not paying to the construction company for its losses in terms of time wastage. They said last year the KP government also promised to make payment to the NHA for opening of the tunnel but did not pay the amount. As a result, the tunnel was still opened for a few hours only at the weekend, creating lots of trouble for the passengers. A delegation from Booni, including former tehsil nazim Mastuj Shamsur Rehman, Muhammad Pervez, Salahuddin, Sardar Hakim and Shah Wazir, were also present during the press conference.]]>
