Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan has directed all departments of the provincial government to streamline mechanism of screening tests and interviews for hiring staff and adopt realistic criteria for the purpose.

He was chairing the 10th board meeting of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Urban Mobility Authority in Peshawar.

The meeting was informed that first phase of recruitment of staff in the authority had been completed.

However, some of the vacancies of technical nature could not be filled due to unavailability of candidates having the required educational qualifications and professional experience.

The board decided to re-advertise the left over vacancies after a bit relaxing the required professional experience and the selection board of the authority was assigned the task of revising the relevant service regulations.

The board approved the proposed route permit fees structure for the Vehicle Operating Company of BRT.
