Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi reviews construction progress and directs officials to complete the remaining work within the 30-day deadline.
The Kashmir Chowk Underpass project in Islamabad has reached 78% completion in just 20 days, marking major progress on an important road development project connecting Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi visited the construction site on October 30 to review the pace of work. During the visit, officials briefed him that the project was moving towards its final stages and that the remaining work would be completed within the planned 30-day period.
According to the briefing, road construction, asphalt work and horticulture activities are progressing at the site. Workers are also installing light poles and other lighting fixtures.
Naqvi directed the relevant authorities to speed up the remaining work while ensuring that the project meets its scheduled completion timeline.
He also instructed officials to improve the surroundings through landscaping and decorative lighting. The minister said that around 6,000 trees would be planted around the underpass to make the area greener.
The underpass is expected to improve traffic flow at Kashmir Chowk and make travel easier for people moving between Rawalpindi and Islamabad. It is also expected to benefit commuters travelling towards Murree and Muzaffarabad.
The project is part of ongoing efforts to address traffic congestion at important road junctions in the federal capital. The latest progress update has brought the project closer to its planned completion, although the remaining work still needs to be finished.
