Strategic NHA Project Enters Final Phase with Law Enforcement Support, Promising Enhanced Connectivity for Balochistan

KOHLU (Web Desk) – The strategically vital Kohlu-to-Punjab National Highway project is nearing its final completion, marking a major milestone in Balochistan’s infrastructure development. Under the supervision of the National Highway Authority (NHA), the blacktop laying phase has been successfully completed, while the construction of bridges is progressing at an accelerated pace.

Security Collaboration and Project Scope

Spanning approximately 36 kilometers, this crucial highway had long been in a state of severe disrepair, causing immense hardship to commuters. The revival and rapid execution of the project were made possible through the robust support and security cover provided by law enforcement agencies, alongside the effective governance of the provincial administration.

The intervention of security forces ensured a safe working environment for the execution team, allowing the NHA to overhaul the route without security bottlenecks.

Public Acclaim: A Boost for Trade, Health, and Education

The local residents of Kohlu and Barkhan have widely lauded the provincial government and security institutions for prioritizing this high-impact project. Speaking to media outlets, local citizens expressed their relief:

"This highway was previously a commuter's nightmare, but today, that long-standing grievance has been resolved. This road is a game-changer for students traveling to Punjab, patients seeking medical care, and regional traders."

The completed highway is set to drastically reduce travel time between Kohlu, Barkhan, and Punjab, integrating remote regions into the mainstream economic grid and paving the way for sustainable regional prosperity.
