The announcement reflects the government’s renewed push to modernize transport routes and support economic activity.
Speaking at a workers’ convention in Faisalabad, the minister highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen national connectivity and upgrade critical highways. From the image details and official statements, Aleem Khan emphasized,
“Pakistan’s standing in the world has improved, and the armed forces continue to ensure our security and stability.”
