Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi visited the Kashmir Chowk Underpass project to inspect the current status of construction work.
During the visit, the minister received a comprehensive briefing regarding the timeline for completion and the progress achieved to date. Workers have finished 78 per cent of the project in 20 days. Mohsin Naqvi instructed authorities to finish the remaining tasks as quickly as possible to meet the 30-day deadline set for 30 October.
Officials stated that asphalt work, road construction, and horticulture are currently moving forward at the site. Officials also said that the team is installing light poles and fitting decorative lighting around the project area. The minister directed that 6,000 trees be planted around the underpass to enhance the area's appearance and increase green space.
Naqvi said the underpass would provide relief to citizens travelling towards Murree and Muzaffarabad. He further noted that the project would make travel between Rawalpindi and Islamabad easier. The minister also mentioned that steps are being taken to address traffic congestion on the Expressway.
