ISLAMABAD: The Parliamentary Committee on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on Thursday expressed concerns over the impediments in implementation of axle load policy, which can cause exponential damage to road infrastructure and have huge cost implications.
The committee in its meeting held here recommended that the Ministry of Communications may resolve such impediments by calling consultative meeting with all transport departments of provinces and regions, industrialists and other stakeholders to seek their input and implement the policy in true spirit. This, according to the committee chairman MNA Sher Ali Arbab, was necessary to protect road infrastructure and facilitate smooth regulation of trade.
