Gujrat: The construction work on the 45-kilometre-long road connecting Hafizabad and Wazirabad districts with Gujrat has been set to start in the coming months, news sources reported on November 23.
The road will be a crucial infrastructure development project in the newly established Gujrat division. As per the tender issued by the government, a sum of PKR 8.2 billion will be spent on the project, which is about to start right from the under-construction campus of the University of Hafizabad up to Khanki headworks touching the border of Gujrat district, from where a 19-kilometre-long road is already being built up to Machiana village, which is the proposed site for the divisional complex of Gujrat.
In addition to this, the existing small road along the Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) bank will be carpeted and widened up to 44 feet to improve the connectivity between Hafizabad district and the newly-created Alipur Chattha tehsil of Wazirabad district with the divisional headquarters.
It is important to note that the Punjab government has recently approved the conversion of Gujrat into a separate 10th division, with Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin, and Hafiz Abad as its districts.
