Speaking at a seminar titled “Challenges to Enforcement on National Highways and Motorways” arranged by National Highways and Motorway Police, last year, Murad Saeed had said tha his ministry did not get a single penny from the government and continued with its projects using its limited resources.
He had said more motorways would be constructed in the coming months with 1275 kilometers of new roads. After five years, Murad said, NHA would be able to build highways and motorways with its own resources.
The minister had said said the present government chose a difficult task of making the country economically stable first which required hard work, selflessness and dedication.
