On Thursday, the Public Accounts Committee summoned Capital Development Authority (CDA) chairman Noorul Amin Mengal to discuss Margalla Highway cracks.
PAC Chairman Noor Alam Khan expressed his apprehension about the Highway situation, stating:
From GT Road to D-12, Margalla Highway is open for traffic. Due to unfinished work, including a 700-meter road section, it has not yet been formally inaugurated.
Khan noted that there are cracks on both sides of the road near the Shah Allah Ditta underpass. He brought the quality of construction into question.
According to CDA Member Engineering Syed Munawar Shah, newly built roads crack routinely and the road is incomplete. He added:
Shah stated the that road other than the broken patch is “state-of-the-art”. Khan noted that cracks in the newly built Margalla Road indicate poor workmanship.
