      <title>Pervaiz Khattak’s Nowshera constituency pays for road out of its own pocket</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30314775/pervaiz-khattaks-nowshera-constituency-pays-for-road-out-of-its-own-pocket</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;People in a Nowshera constituency that twice elected PTI leader Pevaiz Khattak to the provincial and national assemblies are constructing a road from their own pockets.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The road leading from Sherin Kothe to Sukai has been rundown for the most part of the nine years of PTI rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Numerous accidents have taken place because of the huge potholes and made vehicles easy prey for highway robbers, people there told &lt;em&gt;Aaj News&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The locals contacted Khattak several times in the past nine years to draw his attention to this road.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, they decided to build it on their own.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“People have contributed Rs10 and Rs20 for the road construction. Usually people raise funds to construct mosques. This is shameful for all government department in district Nowshera,” said one man.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The KP Assembly has been dissolved now and the PTI is already out of power, waiting for the next election to return.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PTI leadership strongly believes it will win back this Nowshera constituency, but the road to such a victory may be a little bumpy.&lt;/p&gt;
