MANSEHRA: Heavy vehicles and machinery working on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project have damaged roads of the region, according to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) assembly’s standing committee on works and communication.
Committee Chairman Zahir Shah Toru has asked the federal government to ensure compensation for the broken roads.
“Various roads have been destroyed by companies working on the CPEC, so the federal government should collect Rs1 billion from them and transfer it to the provincial government for reconstruction,” declared Toru.
