Rawalpindi: Special Assistant to Prime Minister (PM) on Political Affairs Naeem-ul-Haq has asked for a thorough briefing on the remodelling and expansion of Ammar Shaheed Tunnel Chowk project, according to a news source. The instructions in this regard came directly from PM Imran Khan.
Haq has directed the departments concerned to brief him on the project next week. The project is deemed of immense importance for dealing with the traffic load in certain areas connecting various parts of Rawalpindi including the VIP Route, District Court, and Chaklala Scheme.
Due to several reasons, the project has faced delays over the past five years, but is considered indispensable for solving traffic issues in the city. In addition, the project was recently removed from the list of projects included in Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA)’s Annual Development Programme 2019-20.
Back in 2017, the Punjab Planning and Development Department had included the PKR 700 million project in its list of priority developments planned for the year, but the Planning and Development Division did not grant it approval.
With the PM showing special interest in the expansion and remodelling of the Ammar Shaheed Tunnel project, it is believed that some major development towards its initiation can be expected soon.
