MULTAN, Oct 17 (APP):The section of the motorway located about three kilometers beyond the Jalalpur Pirwala Interchange has been reopened for all types of traffic after successful repair and restoration efforts.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) Waseem Hamid Sindhu said that during the severe floods that hit Jalalpur Pirwala last month, the district administration took timely and emergency measures that helped protect the city from major damage. However, a portion of the motorway was affected and had to be temporarily closed.
He added that once the floodwater receded, repair and rehabilitation work on the damaged stretch began immediately and continued at a fast pace. The coordinated efforts of the district administration, the National Highway Authority (NHA), and the Motorway Police made it possible to reopen the route for public use.
A temporary traffic diversion plan had also been implemented to ensure smooth movement of vehicles during the closure, preventing inconvenience to travelers.
The Deputy Commissioner advised motorists to remain cautious while driving and to follow the instructions of the Motorway Police to help maintain a safe and orderly traffic system.
