Regional engineer elaborated

the roles and responsibilities

of the project, audit and O&M

committees. He also gave

detail cost of the project. Total

cost of the project is 4,079,353

PKR with 600 HHs. He also

explained the contractor’s role

and the material that would

be supplied by the contractor.

Though there is a

pedestrian bridge that

connects the village sadiq

abad to main road

however it is not jeep

able and the villagers face

lots of difficulties while

carrying goods, patients

to hospital and agri-

products to market.

MPA Malak Behram was also present on the occasion. He said that SRSP is doing a

great job in Dir for empowering the poor communities. He said that due to limited

resources, provincial government can not address all of the issues and that is why

SRSP is a helping hand of ours.

According to the MNA Mr. Tariqullah, the said bridge is dire need of the

community. This would be the only access source and that is why the people of

the village had once protested and had hunger strike on main Dir-Chitral road

to make the administration realize the importance of the said bridge. The MNA

thanked SRSP from the core of his heart for addressing the needs of poor and

disadvantaged communities of Dir Upper.
