NHA takes control of two Chitral roads.

CHITRAL -- Two roads of Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been federalised with the provincial government allowing 100 per cent mutation of right of way in the name of National Highway Authority (NHA).

According to a notification issued by the Ministry of Communications the other day, the 363km long Chitral-Shandur-Gilgit Road was federalised as N-140 and Chitral-Garam Chashma-Dorah Pass Road (82.5km) as N-145.

Meanwhile, special assistant to the KP chief minister, Wazir Zada, told mediapersons here on Thursday the road would prove to be a game changer in the area as on the one hand it would connect the area with China-Pakistan Economic Corridor route, on the other it would connect Tajikistan through Dorah Pass.

He said that Chitral would become a hub of economic and trade activities with completion of the road projects, thereby creating employment opportunities for the youth.

STAFF SHORTAGE: Six low grade employees of Pakistan Post are reportedly drawing salaries from post offices of Chitral district where they were posted three years ago, but they have been performing duties in their respective villages in Upper Dir, Lower Dir and Swat districts.
