PESHAWAR: The issues arising out of land acquisition in tribal districts are causing prolonged delays in the construction of government office buildings even two years after the region’s merger with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, sources say.
Sources told Dawn that since the funds released for buying land and putting up buildings weren’t being spent, their utilisation by the relevant government departments had slowed down.
They said after the extension of laws and government departments to the seven merged tribal districts, the government required buildings for district complexes to set up offices of all government departments at district level and tehsil complexes at tehsil level.
