Islamabad: The National Highway Authority (NHA) team provided a comprehensive briefing to the Senate Standing Committee on Communications under construction motorways, according to the news source on September 20.
According to the provided details, a meeting headed by Communications Minister Shahid Ashraf Tarar, along with NHA Secretary Communications & Chairman Muhammad Khurram Agha was held. The meeting shared the progress on Sialkot-Kharian Motorway and Kharian-Rawalpindi Motorway projects.
In regards to the Sialkot-Kharian Motorway project, it was reported that this endeavour kickstarted back in October 2022. So far, 50% of the alignment has already been handed over to the Concessionaire. The project’s progress has been commendable, with roughly 45% completion achieved on the handed-over portion, including substantial advancements in the construction of key structures.
Turning attention to the Kharian-Rawalpindi Motorway project, it was disclosed that the revocable Letter of Intent, initially issued to the top-ranked bidder, M/s Techno-Matracon JV in partnership with Power China Chengdu, has been revoked. This decision stemmed from the bidder’s inability to substantiate that M/s Power China Chengdu served as the lead EPC Constructor, as indicated in their bid.
