The government is spending Rs 26980.390 million on 396 road projects across Balochistan in order to provide transportation facilities through improvement of roads for the people who are living in far-flung areas of the province, official sources told APP here on Sunday.
Rs 8505.814 million have already been spent on these projects in the province, the sources said and added that the government is also constructing bridges, widening various roads and improving road networks across the province.
The sources rejected the impression that the government is constructing roads only in particular district and said constructions of roads are in progress not only in Kohlu, but also in Sibi, Bolan, Killa Saifullah, Panjgur, Loralai, Barkhan, Khuzdar, Turbat, Kalat and other districts of the province.
Referring to Dera Bugti, the sources said, work on Lehri-Sangsila Dera Bugti Road is in progress. Rs 79.680 have been allocated for the road and so far Rs 59.400 have been spent. In this regard Rs 10 million has been granted from gas exploration for construction of the road. Completion of the road will facilitate the people of the province to visit direct to Dera Bugti instead of passing through Sindh and Punjab into the district.
The province is witnessing unprecedented progress. Road networks are being laid which would provide great transportation facilities to the people. Completion of the road networks will also promote and enhance trade activities in the province. The improvement of roads will not only reduce distances but also bring the people closer to each other and improve socio-economic conditions, the sources explained. The government is making sincere efforts to complete these projects within the stipulated time.
