Minister Aleem Khan hints at construction of motorways with private sector help
The Minister for Privatisation, Investment and Communications, Abdul Aleem Khan, has hinted at the construction of Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway and Karachi-Hyderabad Motorway under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode. “There is no doubt that many highway construction projects are of great interest to private investment for which the National Highway Authority must definitely put its efforts into action at the relevant forum,” Mr Khan said while chairing a meeting of NHA in Islamabad on Wednesday. He further said that the Mansehra-Kaghan-Naran Road will be constructed on the Motorway model as the highway projects in upper areas of the country are also attractive for the private sector.
