Quetta: The Balochistan Communication and Works (C&W) Department has directed officials to accelerate work on road-sector projects being implemented under Phases I and II of the Balochistan Socio-Economic Development Programme.
The direction was issued during a high-level meeting chaired by C&W Secretary Babar Khan to review progress on ongoing road development schemes across the province.
The meeting was attended by senior engineers, project coordinators and district officers from various regions. Officials briefed the secretary on the progress of projects being executed under the two phases of the programme.
Babar Khan said completion of the development schemes within the current fiscal year, and where possible ahead of schedule, was a top priority for the department.
Expressing concern over slow progress on some critical projects, the secretary warned that delays would not be tolerated. He directed the concerned officials to accelerate construction activities and improve project execution.
He said timely completion of the schemes would improve road connectivity and provide easier access to urban centres for people living in remote and underdeveloped areas of Balochistan.
The secretary stressed that infrastructure development and timely execution of projects were important for promoting economic growth and stability in the province. He added that the benefits of the development schemes should reach far-flung communities without unnecessary delays.
Babar Khan also reaffirmed the department’s commitment to transparency, efficiency and quality in the execution of development projects.
