KP Releases Rs300 Million Under Roshan Peshawar Urban Lighting Initiative
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has released Rs300 million in funds under the Roshan Peshawar initiative, a provincial programme aimed at upgrading and modernising street lighting infrastructure across the provincial capital. The fund release signals renewed momentum in one of the KP government's flagship urban development schemes.
Roshan Peshawar is designed to replace conventional street lighting with energy-efficient systems, improving nighttime safety, reducing electricity consumption, and enhancing the overall quality of life in Peshawar's residential and commercial areas. The injection of Rs300 million is expected to cover installation, procurement, and project management costs across multiple city zones earmarked for coverage under the initiative.
Local government officials have indicated that the fund release will accelerate work that had faced delays due to resource constraints. Completion of the programme is expected to benefit a significant portion of Peshawar's population, including areas that have historically suffered from inadequate public lighting infrastructure.
The initiative reflects a broader provincial push toward urban modernisation in KP, mirroring similar programmes being pursued in Punjab and other provinces. Sustainable urban lighting is increasingly being recognised as a foundational element of civic infrastructure with direct implications for safety, commerce, and public confidence in local governance.
