BOONI: The blacktopping of the one km portion of the Booni bazaar road started on Sunday and the project is estimated to cost almost 20 million rupees (Rs19.958 million).
KP Assembly\’s Deputy Speaker Suriya Bibi inaugurated the project at a ceremony attended by a number of political, social figures, traders and district administration officials.
Upon completion, the blacktopped road from Booni Chowk upward is expected to significantly ease transportation challenges for the local population and improve access within the town.
Local residents and shopkeepers expressed their appreciation for the long-awaited development, hoping it would contribute to the area’s economic activity and overall infrastructure improvement.
Roads in Booni, the headquarters of the Upper Chitral district, have been in poor conditions for years due to lack of funds.
