PM breaks ground on Bhara Kahu bypass

Concerned authorities directed to ensure completion within four months

ISLAMABAD:

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday performed the groundbreaking of the Bhara Kahu bypass project.

PM Shehbaz was briefed about the modalities and execution of the Bahara Kahu project. It was highlighted that the 5.4-kilometre-long project had been contracted for Rs6 billion after a transparent bidding.

The premier directed concerned authorities to ensure completion of the bypass within four months and also emphasised to need to further reduce project costs. The project on completion will provide a big relief to the people traveling toward Murree and Kashmir as the existing road faces massive congestion.

Earlier, addressing a gathering and commenting on a audio leak allegedly featuring Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf chairman and former premier Imran Khan, Shehbaz said that it had “totally busted the narrative” whereby the incumbent government was a “product of conspiracy”.

“Imran Niazi wasted five months of the nation by concocting lies and propaganda about his successor government, however, his own audio leaks exposed his fraudulence,” said PM Shehbaz.

“Imran Khan called the politicians as traitors, however, in reality, it was he who betrayed the nation,” he said adding that “Imran’s lies about an ‘imported government’ are in fact a conspiracy against the entire nation.”
