PESHAWAR: The oldest and largest housing society of government employees at Peshawar Regi Model Town (RMT) could not be completed even passage of almost 28 years. Most of the employees who got plots in 1993 have died but their children have not yet got possession of the plots. The government has so far been able to open only two out of five zones in the housing society, but both zones also lack basic amenities.
The PTI is in power since 2013 in KP but it couldn’t be able to settle the long-standing dispute of three zones of RMT. Authority has not built a single hospital in the whole society while Zone-IV has not a single mosque. Reggie Model Town residents are paying their gas bills at the LNG expensive tariff.
