There is nothing either Super or the Highway both have disappeared and this is the main arterial road from the Karachi Port connecting it with the rest of the country. For the last five years not a single inch has been either enlarged or repaired. Will the Minister be pleased to state whether the Government has any proposal for really making it into a Super Highway, widening its Highways and when the work would start, whether a PC-I has been completed, planned or otherwise, Sir. Mr. Chairman: Minister for Communications.
