ISLAMABAD: The National Highways Authority (NHA) Executive Board agreed with the recommendations of the Stage-II committee for payment of Rs2.85 billion to M/s CWE for out-of-court settlement of claims/disputes between the NHA and M/s CWE on Faisalabad–Gojra Motorway M-4 (Section-I) Project.

Official sources revealed that the Board also directed to hold an inquiry through an independent inquiry officer, who has never served in NHA before in the subject issue regarding delay in payments, which has accrued this huge amount to be paid from the public exchequer.
