The wheels of progress are turning once again as the country’s infrastructure landscape is announced to get a major project connecting Islamabad to the picturesque ‘Gilgit’ and ‘Skardu’ via motorway.
According to the media reports federal communication minister Abdul Aleem Khan has underscored that how the development will be significant to transform the region’s connectivity and socio-economic dynamics.
The Details
Speaking at the passing-out parade of patrol officers at the National Highways and Motorway Training College in Sheikhupura, Minister Abdul Aleem Khan reaffirmed his commitment to prioritizing the completion of key motorway projects, including the Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway.
However, his vision extends beyond the southern corridors, recognizing the need for enhanced infrastructure in the northern region.
The proposed Islamabad to Gilgit and Skardu motorway holds promise as a game-changer for the area, heralding unprecedented opportunities for economic growth, tourism, and accessibility.
Minister Khan’s acknowledgment of the contribution of those involved in the Motorway projects, underscores the importance of the ethical governance in achieving national development goals.
As the passing-out parade celebrates the culmination of rigorous training for patrol officers and FIA officials, Minister Khan’s announcement of a one-month salary reward reflects the government’s appreciation for their dedication and service.
Furthermore, the inclusion of women among the graduates signifies a progressive step towards gender-inclusive representation in law enforcement and infrastructure sectors.
This endeavor towards constructing the Islamabad to Gilgit and Skardu motorway not only symbolizes physical connectivity but also embodies the collective aspirations of a nation poised for progress.
M-Tag Compulsory For Motorway
Earlier this Feb, the National Highway Authority (NHA) and Motorway Police made M-Tag registration mandatory for all vehicles. This move aims to streamline entry and exit processes, ensuring a faster and more efficient flow of traffic.
Previously, M-Tag use was encouraged but not compulsory. However, to further optimize traffic management, all vehicles must now be equipped with this electronic toll collection system.
