Local youth in the native town of Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Sohail Afridi have exposed poor-quality development work and the use of sub-standard material in road construction in the town of district Khyber.
A video has been making rounds on social media in which local youth inspect the quality of the newly constructed road, and found it poorly constructed and made of substandard material.
The video published on Social Media highlighting the poor quality of road construction is from Shahgai Lala Chena Miandad Khel in district Khyber, which is a native town of the incumbent Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Muhammad Sohail Afridi.

The local residents have demanded that concerned authorities take stern legal action against the individuals who constructed the project using sub-standard material.
The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been claiming that development projects are fast-tracked and being strictly monitored for their quality of work, but this video and similar incidents in the near past show a different picture.
