In line with the directives of Prime Minister Imran Khan regarding reaching out to the people through holding open katchehris by organizations under the federal government, National Highway Authority Chairman Capt (r) Sikandar Qayyum held an e-katchehri at NHA Head Office through official Facebook page and answered to the questions placed by the people from across country.
In his opening remarks, the NHA chairman informed about the objectives and working of the authority. He said presently NHA controls more than 12,000 kms of motorways and national highways throughout the country and that 80 percent of the total commercial traffic is attached to NHA’s network. He said road building is a laborious technical job and heavy amounts are needed for their construction. “Our endeavour is to provide a high-speed, safe and reliable network in the country,” he said, adding that such e-katchehris will also be arranged at NHA’s regional offices located throughout the country.
He said the NHA is undertaking projects with private sector partnership and that as per directive of Federal Minister for Communications and Postal Services Murad Saeed, NHA is taking steps to enhance its revenue to reduce load on national exchequer.
