The Central Development Working Party (CDWP) on Thursday referred a major revised project for the Karachi–Lahore Motorway (KLM) to the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) for further consideration and approval.
According to details, the project concerns land acquisition, compensation for affected properties, and relocation of utilities along the 959-kilometer stretch of the motorway. The revised cost of the project stands at Rs. 68.74 billion.
The KLM, excluding already completed sections of 136 km of M-9 and 57 km of M-4, is regarded as one of the most critical infrastructure projects for enhancing connectivity across Pakistan.
Federal Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal chaired the CDWP meeting, where several other projects were also approved or forwarded to ECNEC. These included the Nawaz Sharif Institute of Cancer Treatment and Research in Lahore worth Rs. 74.9 billion, and the Harpo Hydropower Project (34.5MW) with a revised cost of Rs. 34.34 billion.
Additionally, the meeting approved the construction of an eight-lane overhead bridge at Imamia Colony Railway Crossing in Shahdara, valued at Rs. 4.67 billion.
Why is it called Nawaz Sharif cancer hospital is Nawaz paying from his pocket, it is from tax payer money. And it will never materialize as we all know where this tax payer money will go.
Why Peshawar stadium named as Imran khan stadium. Does he paid from his pocket Imrando?
Funny how this country has no money for health and education but billions for roads.
Yeah. Which school or hospital will be built without a road leading to it? Do you want children and patients to go by dirt roads to world-class schools and hospitals? Roads are more important. Roads benefit everyone. Schools only benefit local children and Hospitals benefit local population. Roads will always have priority. I used to think like you when IK was campaigning back in 2018. So read and learn more.
There is no kick back to the superiors in health and education but a hefty one in roads. ,:)
