UAE-funded highway in Pakistan nears completion
About 85 per cent of work of the UAE-funded Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Road in South Waziristan, has been completed, Director of UAE Project to Assist Pakistan (PAP) Abdullah Khalifa Al Ghafli, said.
The building of the $38.01 million-road, one of the largest and most important projects in Pakistan, is under the directives of the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to develop and modernise infrastructure in Pakistan’s remote and poor regions, Al Ghafli added in a statement to Wam.
As the first paved road in Southern Waziristan and a strategic corridor between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Road will enhance the transport system in the region’s rough terrain by linking a large number of its cities and villages to major cities.
With half of it in mountainous areas, the 50km road features five bridges.
Al Ghafli added that work is underway on the strategic motorway between Wana and Angoor Ada in South Waziristan despite the region’s rough geography and harsh weather conditions.
Under the directives of Shaikh Khalifa, PAP is currently carrying out 28 development and humanitarian projects worth $54.5 million in South Waziristan alone, he noted. The UAE’s healthcare projects in the region will serve 35000 inhabitants, according to the official. Twenty projects worth $2.1 million are under construction by PAP in Waziristan to provide pure drinking water from wells and purification which will serve around 6500 households.
