CJP takes notice of Lowari Tunnel closure

Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar has taken notice of closure of Lowari Tunnel on an application of residents of Chitral.

He has sought report from Secretary Communication, Chairman National Highways Authority and Chief Secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in this regard within five days.

The residents of Chitral had complained in the letter that the tunnel has been completed but still most of the time it is kept closed and only opened for few hours which not only causes traffic jam but also creates trouble for locals.
