MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): The long-delayed CMH flyover project in Muzaffarabad has entered its final stages, with the Azad Jammu and Kashmir government aiming to complete the work within the next few weeks.
Prime Minister Iftikhar Gilani has given the contractor 45 days to complete the project and warned that failure to meet the deadline would result in fines and legal action.
The flyover, connecting Y Cross with CMH in AJK capital, was launched in 2020 during the tenure of former Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider Khan, aimed at easing traffic congestion and improving transportation in the AJK capital.
The project was initially estimated to cost around Rs157.4 million, but due to construction and technical difficulties, its cost has since increased to Rs453 million.
Despite changes in five prime ministers and four governments over the past six years, the project remained incomplete, causing prolonged inconvenience to commuters. The completion of the flyover will relieve citizens from six years of travel difficulties.
