Caretaker Chief Minister Sindh Maqbool Baqir has written a letter to caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar regarding the exclusion of Karachi-Hyderabad and Sukkur Motorway from the Sindh government’s CPEC project.
He wrote that the federal government has excluded Karachi-Hyderabad and Sukkur Motorway from CPEC without giving any ‘specific reason’.
Sindh’s caretaker chief executive further said in the letter that all the important roads of the Peshawar-Karachi Motorway project have been completed, while the most important part of the M-Six link from Hyderabad to Sukkur is incomplete.
The lack of implementation and progress on the site is a cause for concern and the exclusion of the Karachi-Hyderabad and Sukkur Motorways raises further concerns.
It should be highlighted that the Shehbaz Sharif government initiated the construction of the Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway last year. The project is currently underway and is slated for completion in 2026. However, it remains unclear why the federal government has opted to exclude this particular project from the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
