According to reports in the Daily Times, the Frontier Works Organization (FWO) is seeking approval from the Pakistani government to establish a new plant in the Haripur area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Details of the proposal are scant, but the FWO is understood to have met with representatives of the provincial government to discuss the plan. The latter told local media that they welcomed the proposed investment as part of the wider work on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
The FWO is a branch of the Pakistani Army charged with civil and military infrastructure development.
