ISLAMABAD: National Highway Authority ( NHA) is planning to start construction work of Hoshab-Awaran- Khuzdar section of Rattodero-Gwadar Motorway.
An official of NHA told APP on Sunday that Rs. 4 billion have been allocated in Public Sector Development Programme 2020-2021 in the project which is expected to be completed in 42 months.
He said recently Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC) gave the go-ahead for constructing this vital section of M-8.
