Azad Jammu and Kashmir President, Sardar Masood Khan says government gives utmost importance to Mansehra-Muzaffarabad-Mirpur - Mangla Expressway project as it will not only connect different districts of the region, but also play a significant role in socio-economic uplift of the people.
He expressed these views after a briefing given to him on Environmental Impact Assessment in Islamabad on Friday.
The AJK President said that the project, to be implemented under the CPEC, would not only significantly reduce travel distance between Mirpur and Muzaffarabad, but also pass through different districts of Azad Kashmir o connect them with each other.
He asked the Federal government to release funds for the project at the earliest.
