Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan has directed authorities to expand the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway from four lanes to six lanes as part of efforts to improve traffic flow and transport infrastructure in Punjab.
The directive was issued during a review meeting of the National Highway Authority (NHA), where progress on multiple motorway and highway projects was discussed.
During the meeting, the minister stressed the need to accelerate work on key infrastructure schemes and maintain strict technical standards.
He also directed authorities to ensure that feasibility studies for all NHA projects achieve complete accuracy.
Abdul Aleem Khan expressed dissatisfaction over delays in several projects and warned that further delays in completion would not be tolerated. The meeting was attended by the communications secretary and the NHA chairman.

What about sukkur Hyderabad motorway,why delay because of Sindh project.federal government not interested Sindh projects
Because their political interests are linked to Punjab.
Which interests? He is not elected.
بہتب ہی بہتر ہوتا اگر مکرم و محترم جناب وزیر صاحب پہلے اس موٹر وے کو راولپنڈی تک مکمل کرا لیتے اور بعد میں اس حصے کی اضافی لیں مکمل کرواتے

بھائی جان آ پ کو شاید پتہ نہیں کہ موٹر وے ایک وفاقی اشارہ یعنی این ایچ اے بناتا ہے۔ مگر آ پ کو ہر جگہ سندھ حکومت کانٹے کی طرح چبھتی ہے۔ چاہے اس کا واسطہ ہو یا نہ ہو ۔ کمینٹ سے پہلے ذرا مطالعہ تو کر لیا کریں۔
Ke motorway is not Sialkot motorway but is Sukkur - Hyderabad motorway, where the traffic from all provinces converges to approach Karachi and BinQasim ports. But unfortunately it is being ignored since long.
Iam seeing all comments mentioning why not sukkur karachi motorday. Even a common man seeing the importance of Karachi Sukkur motorway, yet motorways in Punjab are of more importance.
The biggest obstacle to the Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway is the influential Sindhi tribal leaders whose lands lie on the proposed route. Instead of supporting the project, they are demanding that the motorway be diverted closer to their lands. Many of these tribal leaders enjoy significant political power in Sindh, which has made the Sindh government deliberately slow and reluctant to acquire and clear the land — even though the NHA is responsible for construct this highly important Motorway.
Worst of all, the people of Sindh themselves seem largely indifferent. They neither protest against this powerful tribal-political mafia nor strongly demand their right to development and better infrastructure from the Sindh government. This lack of public pressure and civic resistance is the real tragedy, allowing vested interests to hold the entire region’s progress hostage.
