NHA agrees to open Lowari tunnel in winter

The National Highway Authority (NHA) has agreed in principle to open the under-construction Lowari Tunnel for light traffic during upcoming winter on temporary basis.
In this regard, Provincial Minister for Population Welfare Saleem Khan called on the chairman NHA in Islamabad, and formally demanded to open the tunnel for light traffic in order to keep Chitral connected with other parts of the country, a handout issued in Peshawar said.
Chairman NHA assured the provincial minister of opening the tunnel for light traffic on temporary basis as soon as the provincial government makes the required security arrangements and issues no objection certificate (NOC).
It is worth mentioning that the NWFP governor and chief minister have already agreed to open the tunnel during the upcoming winter and a summary to this effect has already moved by the provincial government.
