The third report highlighted the poor condition of the dangerous and out of dated bridges in District Charsadda. There are five rivers in district Charsadda and several bridges that are there to connect Charsadda with the surrounding districts and cities. Unfortunately some of the bridges are more than eighty years old and expired, but government has paid no attention to repair and strengthen it or replace it with new ones. The overloaded and heavy transport has made the bridges more dangerous while passing it.
In the final report the reporter mentioned the favorable weather and atmosphere for the very precious olive tree. Report mentioned that in South and North Waziristan agencies the atmosphere is very good for olives, but there is still no attention being given by the forest department to increase the ratio of this valuable and precious tree in the area.
