CHITRAL: Mehtar of Chitral and MPA from Lower Chitral Fatehul Mulk Ali Nasir has said that the government of PTI was determined to provide roads infrastructure in Chitral as per the vision of Imran Khan, as all the sectors were directly dependent on it.

Inaugurating a number of road projects in his constituency, he said that the completion of the road projects in differentlocalities of Lower Chitral was a reflection of seriousness of the provincial government to bring it at par with the developed districts.

He said that Parsan valley was one of the remotest sub-valleys of Chitral which remained cut off from the other parts of the districts in winter season while vehicular traffic blocked after rainfall in the summer, but reconstruction has ensured its all-weather usage.

Mr Mulk said that proper road infrastructures in the small valleys of Arkari, Susoom and Kariamabad, ensuring uninterrupted flow of traffic, would surely lead to improved livelihood as the residents will be able to transport their fruits and vegetables to the market easily and economically.

He reiterated that all distant valleys embracing mountains would be connected to the main arteries of Garam Chashma Road, Kalash valleys Road and Sheshi Koh Road in the future, which were being prioritised by the provincial government.
