KARACHI – Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Tuesdsy wrote another letter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and expressed for neglecting the motorway projects in the province.
In the letter, Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah questioned that why Sindh was ignored in the motorway projects.

He expressed concern over allocation of funds by the National Highway Authority (NHA), saying that less than 5% of the budget was allocated for Sindh.
“Punjab received 38.65% for 33 projects while Sindh was allocated only 4.34% for six projects,” he highlighted.
CM Murad further noted that 4.40% was allocated for four projects in Gilgit and 0.16% for a single project in Azad Kashmir.
