PESHAWAR: Federal Minister for Communications Dr Alamgir Khan said on Sunday that work on the 8.5 kilometer long Lowari Tunnel would be completed by January 15.
The minister said the residents of Chitral were only 400 metres away from the long-awaited dream and hoped that their dream would be materalized by January 15. The tunnel, he said, would open the landlocked culturally rich district for tourism and would connect it with Central Asian states and promote trade and investment in the region. Initially, a train would run into the tunnel and will take about 45 minutes from one end to the other.
The minister said renovation work such as electrification etc would be completed in six to eight months. He said Lowari tunnel would restore centuries-old ties between Pakistan and CARs.--APP
