Chairing a high-level meeting of the National Highway Authority (NHA), the minister reviewed annual maintenance projects and issued key directives. He emphasized that timely repair work is essential for smooth travel and long-lasting roads.
Abdul Aleem Khan appreciated the performance of the new NHA team, noting visible improvements in operations. “Our goal is to make travel pleasant and hassle-free for the public,” he said.
He made it clear that NHA officials have no option but to improve their performance. The minister also ordered immediate commencement of construction on the densely populated section of Tarnol-Kohat Road and the upgradation of the Gujranwala Bypass.

All maintenance projects must be approved by the competent forum, with a focus on transparency. The minister further directed that every project must reflect cost-efficiency, quality, and long-term benefit.
