ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Communications Asad Mahmood has underlined the need for introducing e-toll collection on Hakla-D.I.Khan Motorway.

He said all possible steps would be taken to provide travelling and civic amenities to travelers on all the motorways and national highways throughout the country.

The Ministry of Communications and National Highway Authority (NHA) recently undertook immediate measures and established additional toll collection booths at Hakla toll plaza.

It is to recall that Prime Minister of Pakistan Shahbaz Sharif took serious notice of reports regarding traffic rush at Hakla Toll Plaza, and issued orders to ensure smooth flow of traffic at this point by increasing the number of toll collection booths.
