Minister of State for Communications and Postal Services Murad Saeed, while addressing the launching ceremony in the federal capital, said the app will carry all the necessary information needed by the motorists.
Saeed said that his ministry's 70-day target had been achieved in a mere 50 days, adding that five major NHA projects, carried out under the previous government's tenure, are being audited now.
The communications minister said that land worth more than one billion rupees had already been retrieved by the NHA.

Saeed said the ministry's target is to be able to raise its own budget, adding that, "In this 50-day period we have managed to generate a revenue of Rs761 million."
The minister further said that 50 billion tree saplings would be planted on the sides of 12,000-km long NHA highways.
Saeed added that 17 NHA projects are currently being investigated as well.
Referring to the Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TLP) protests, during which mass rioting and damage was caused to state property at toll plazas last month, he said that, "Our staff did an amazing job during the protests."
He also urged the general public to own highways and take care of the national assets.
Speaking on the occasion, NHA chairman Jawad Rafique Malik said the mobile app will provide great service to the masses. This is a user-friendly and effective application, prepared under a limited budget, he added.
