MANSEHRA: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Parliamentary Leader in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Sardar Mohammad Yusuf has said Prime Minister Shabhaz Sharif`s scheduled May 26 visit to the district has been postponed.

`The PM was due here on Thursday to address a public meeting, but due to his hectic engagements, the visit would now take place on May 29,` he told reporters on Tuesday.

Mr Yusuf said party`s vice-president Maryam Nawaz would also accompany the prime minister during his visit.

`We have finalised preparations for this huge public gathering as the prime minister will visit Hazara first time after assuming the office,` he said.

The PML-N leader said the prime minister would also announce the resumption of the mega development projects launched by the previous PML-N government, but scrapped by the Pakistan Tehreek-iInsaf government.

`The Hazara Motorway is the gift of PML-N supreme leader Nawaz Sharif for people of the division, and we expect that Shahbaz Sharif would follow suit and announce similar projects for the region,` Mr Yusuf said.
