The National Communications Committee of the Assembly Assembly has been informed that the Quetta-Zhob road, including Zhob bypass, has been included in this year’s PSDP. However, due to limited funds, Lorealai bypass will be considered for inclusion in the next PSDP, in response to the previous recommendations of the committee. The committee, which met under the presidency of MNA Aijaz Hussain, made a warning of attention claimed by MNA Syed Waseem Hussain and other members. The Committee reiterated public concerns about high tolls that were charged at various points on the Karachi-Hyderabad highway (M-9), emphasizing the need for a fair toll and the collection of transparent income. Since the Parliamentary Secretary of Communications was not available to attend, the Ministry was asked to present their response at the next meeting. In addition, the Committee requested a detailed report by the National Highway Authority (NHA) for the next session. The committee was informed about the progress of the Autopista Sukkur-Hyderabad (M-6). The Ministry informed the committee that the project would be financed through the Islamic Development Bank (ISDB), after the approval of the project proposal by the P3A Board and the PC-1 reviewed by ECNEC.
Work in M-6 to start in March 2026
