PESHAWAR, Sept 12: Governor Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah said on Thursday that the future requirements should be kept in view while making plans for government buildings for offices.

He was presiding over a meeting held at the Governor’s House to review the master plan for the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Kohat, building estimated to cost Rs60 million.
