PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Senior Minister for Local Government and Rural Development Innayatullah Khan performed the groundbreaking ceremony of Dir (Upper) Campus of UET Peshawar at Upper Dir as chief guest on Monday. The new campus would be a full-fledge satellite campus of UET Peshawar being constructed in the city.

While addressing at the occasion, Innaytullah said, this event was an unprecedented milestone in the history of Dir Upper. He said that the realization of this campus was in fact part of the strategic vision of Government to develop a campus and bring quality education to the people in their own city.

“During the past few years, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and especially the Malakand Division had seen the worst form of terrorism, depriving the people of everything of value. This campus will be a breakthrough in transforming their lives,” he added.
