KP Govt Plans to connect Abbottabad city directly with Hazara Motorway

Caretaker Minister for Communications and Works, Ahmad Jan, and Minister for Rural Development and Local Government, Ameer Nadeem Durrani, have proposed a significant infrastructure initiative in Abbottabad. They suggest initiating work at Sherwan Interchange to link Abbottabad through a tunnel, aiming to improve traffic flow and connectivity with surrounding areas such as Mansehra, Nathiagali, and others. The provincial government has already requested federal support for expanding Sherwan Interchange and constructing a tunnel interchange for Abbottabad.

In a recent meeting held in Abbottabad, officials discussed various plans to address traffic congestion and immediate concerns. Key actions include kickstarting the Abbottabad Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, cleaning rainwater drains, and resolving road issues near the conclusion of the Hazara Motorway at Peshawar Morr.

Officials stressed the importance of completing infrastructure projects on time, addressing issues from previous contractors, and conducting inquiries into incomplete work. A comprehensive plan for redesigning and cleaning all drains in Abbottabad was outlined, with a particular focus on urgently cleaning drains in the short term. Authorities were directed to collaborate with Tehsil Municipal Administrations (TMAs) to measure all drains and take prompt action for their redesign.

The provincial ministers instructed relevant authorities to communicate with the Public Service Commission regarding vacant positions, especially in evening and night shifts, in District Headquarters (DHQ) hospitals. They also emphasized the need for a no-objection certificate from the Election Commission to address staff shortages in hospitals.

The meeting specifically addressed concerns related to Abbottabad Teaching Hospital, Dhodial Mental and General Hospital, Boghar Mang Basic Health Unit (BHU), and Kot Najibullah BHU. The focus remains on efficient and timely execution of plans to enhance the overall infrastructure and healthcare services in Abbottabad.
