CM Alyani was briefed that the 6-kilometre Nawan Killi bypass project would be completed with an estimated budget of PKR 346.706 million and is expected to be operationalised by June this year.
The CM expressed that the current haphazard development status of Balochistan was due to the uneven distribution of funds in the past, when only some constituencies were provided with funds. He expressed his resolve to monitor and keep follow-ups on the development projects launched under his supervision, to ensure timely completions and the transparent utilisation of funds.

Talking about the city’s road infrastructure, the CM announced that the Hanna Urak Highway will be converted into a two-way road soon. Moreover, the expansion of Joint Road, Sabzal Road, Sariab Road, and the Eastern and Western Bypasses would facilitate the citizens of Quetta.
