ISLAMABAD:Prime Minister Imran Khan has vowed to improve connectivity on the western side in order to uplift the backward and neglected areas of the country.

He made these remarks whilst inaugurating 293 kilometer long Hakla-Dera Ismail Khan motorway here on Wednesday. The Prime Minister said connecting the tribal areas and Balochistan with road infrastructure will bring a revolution in the country and ensure a bright future.

The Prime Minister said the completion of the first phase of western route under China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project will accrue many benefits and ensure economic development in the backward areas. Imran Khan pointed out that regardless of inflation, the present government has completed the road infrastructure projects at less cost than the previous regime. He regretted that roads were constructed in the past to mint money.
