According to a Balochistan government official, work on the dualization of the 796-kilometer Chaman-Quetta-Karachi-Highway will begin next month in order to give the greatest communication facilities.

He stated that, as a result of the Balochistan government’s efforts, the Federal government has allotted Rs 81.582 billion in the first phase for the building of the Kuchlak to Khuzdar stretch of the Quetta-Karachi highway in the current fiscal year.

The tender for the second portion of the two-lane highway has also been released, while the remaining two sections of the major highway are still in the feasibility stage, he noted.
