ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday wished Prince Karim Aga Khan on his birthday and acknowledged his contribution to the field of education and socio-economic development.
“Congratulations to His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV on his birthday,” he said in a tweet.
The prime minister said, “We acknowledge, appreciate, and remain grateful for his wonderful contributions to the cause of education and socio-economic development in Pakistan and around the world.”
On other hand, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the development of road infrastructure connecting all provinces of the country, particularly the disadvantaged areas, was crucial for strengthening of the national economy.
The prime minister, who performed the foundation-laying ceremony of the Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway (M-6), said connecting the deprived areas including Balochistan and Sindh would pave the way for economic and social development besides creating new business opportunities.
The six-lane motorway will comprise 15 interchanges, a large bridge over the Sindh river, 82 bridges over canals, 19 underpass bridges, six flyovers, and 10 service areas. The project will create around 25,000 jobs.
The M-6 will pass through the districts of Jamshoro, Hyderabad, Matiari, Benazirabad, Nowshero Feroze, Khairpur, and Sukkur.
