Punjab to build 29km road to connect Gujrat with motorway


Waseem Ashraf Butt
September 14, 2022


GUJRAT: A 29km expressway connecting Gujrat city with Kharian-Sambrial motorway will be built at a cost of about Rs8bn to Rs10bn.

A senior official said fencing of expressway would transform it into a mini-motorway as it was being designed as per the Faisalabad section of motorway that was linked with Lahore-Islamabad motorway.

PML-Q leader MNA Moonis Elahi had demanded the project to link the Gujrat city with the motorway from the then prime minister Imran Khan last year on the launch of Kharian motorway project.

The federal government had agreed to give a direct link to Gujrat; however, the PTI government was ousted earlier this year.

When Chaudhry Parvez Elahi became the chief minister, the local business fraternity started demanding execution of the project from the resources of Punjab government.

Sources said the Punjab government had approved the project and the acquisition of land and construction of dual carriageway had been planned to be followed by fencing of the road.

They said the foundation stone of the project would be laid by the end of September and work was being done by the departments concerned.

As per the plan, the expressway will start from the GT Road. Gurali village could be the starting point of the project, which would be connected to the motorway from Lakhanwal.

The National Highways Authority (NHA) has already launched the construction work for Kharian-Sambrial motorway right from GT Road in Kharian in July and the stipulated time of the motorway project’s completion is two years.

The 69km long portion of Kharian-Sambrial motorway is an extension of Lahore-Sialkot motorway (M-11). The Kharian- Islamabad portion of the motorway project has also been approved but it has not been launched yet.

An army of millions of mosquito killer fish has been bred to counter dengue in Punjab with more than 2.3 million tilapia fish being released in ponds and lakes in different districts.

Dengue fever in the province has witnessed a surge with the number of patients rising to 1,388, according to the data released by the Islamabad District House Officer’s office.

In addition to the health department, the Punjab fisheries department plays an active role in the prevention of dengue and has bred 2.3 million tilapia fish this year to eliminate dengue larvae.

Fisheries experts say the tilapia is a small fish that was considered a symbol of rebirth in ancient Egypt. In modern times, scientists are working on using this fish against mosquitos that carry diseases like dengue and malaria.

Director-General of Punjab Fisheries Dr Sikandar Hayat told The Express Tribune about the three methods of controlling dengue.

He said that since the dengue mosquito breeds in water, the mechanical control method requires the elimination of collected water. For example, water in birds' bowls is emptied or water found collected in air conditioners or tyres in houses is thrown out.

Read Dengue test fee fixed at Rs1,500

In the chemical control method, the dengue mosquito larvae are killed using chemicals. "This method is used in ponds where all the water cannot be disposed of," said Dr Hayat.

The third method of dengue control is the biological method in which tilapia fish are released into the water. Dr Hayat informed this is used mainly in reservoirs where the water is used for human consumption.

He said that his staff checks the pH (acidity or bitterness level) of the water, evaluates its success rate and then releases the tilapia and grass carp fish to biologically control the dengue larvae.

The director-general further informed that currently, dengue killer fish are being released in ponds and lakes in different districts of Punjab.

Tilapia is also known to be expensive and more delicious to eat as compared to other fish.
