An official of NHA told APP on Sunday that Rs 4 billion have been allocated in the Public Sector Development Programme 2020-2021 in the project which is expected to be completed in 42 months.
He said that recently the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) gave the go-ahead for constructing this vital section of the M-8.
