Karachi: The Sindh Provincial Development Working Party (PDWP) has approved seven new development schemes worth a total of PKR 8.9 billion, including a major road infrastructure project in Larkano valued at PKR 5 billion. The approvals were granted during a PDWP meeting chaired by Planning and Development Board Chairman Najam Ahmed Shah.
Among the approved projects, one falls under the Planning and Development Department – the Sindh Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (SMICS) – with an allocated budget of PKR 251 million. The remaining six schemes pertain to the Works and Services Department, focusing largely on road rehabilitation and new construction to improve regional connectivity.
Key highlights include the construction of an additional 21.6-kilometre carriageway from Larkano’s Professor Colony to Kamber via Beero Chandio, estimated at PKR 5 billion – the most significant investment among the approved projects.
Other schemes include the rehabilitation and reconditioning of an 18-kilometre road from Sharanpur Bearing Bridge to Garhi Khairo, budgeted at PKR 670 million, and reconditioning of a 6.5-kilometre road from M8 at PSO Pump to Qubo Nabi Shah via village road at a cost of PKR 230.75 million.
The PDWP also approved the construction of a 5-kilometre bypass to connect Larkana-Mirokhan Road with Kamber-Sijawal Road, with a budget of PKR 1.082 billion. These infrastructure projects aim to address transportation bottlenecks and support economic development across various regions of Sindh.
Chairman Najam Ahmed Shah directed all administrative departments to ensure the timely and effective execution of these schemes. He stressed that the approved projects will play a crucial role in strengthening infrastructure, improving mobility, and fostering socio-economic development across the province.
