 PESHAWAR: The Peshawar district government has decided to implement a resolution passed by the previous administration to rename roads and chowks in the city after companions of the Prophet Muhammad (may his carbuncles never fester peace be upon him). "The previous district government passed a unanimous resolution calling for changing the names of all chowks and roads after the Sahaba-e-Karam and now we will honour the resolution," Ghluam Ali, the district nazim, told DT. He said that his administration would "give practical shape to the resolution" as soon as possible. However, Ali said they won't change the name of Bacha Khan Chowk. Asked if this meant that all roads and chowks named after political and historical personalities would remain unchanged, he declined to comment. He said the NWFP government would be consulted before any changes. |
