Caretaker Chief Minister Punjab Mohsin Naqvi has sought a plan to build plastic roads as an in-principle decision has been taken to introduce such roads in the province. These plastic roads offer enhanced durability compared to conventional coal tar-made roads, as they are less prone to breaking. In addition, the CM has emphasized the importance of transparency and ensuring high-quality standards in road construction projects. Currently, there are 137 ongoing road rehabilitation projects, covering a total length of 2600 km across Punjab, and all road construction contracts are being awarded through e-tendering to maintain fairness. Furthermore, the CM has set a target of completing 107 inter-district road construction projects within a three-month timeframe.
