MANSEHRA: The chairman of Ulema’s Amn Committee, Maulana Inayatur Rehman, has demanded the government to check the construction of the Hazara Expressway from Jarikass to Havalian as accidents were common on this section of this strategically important artery because of its bumpiness.
“This important road is uneven from Jarikass to Havalian and all its interchanges from Mansehra to Thakot are without signals as a result of which accidents are common and many lives lost on it,” the Maulana told reporters here on Tuesday.
He said the National Highway Authority should hold a test drive through a road experts’ team from Jarikass to Havalian to identify the exact issue to protect the lives of travellers on it.

MANSEHRA: Political parties, Ulema, traders and transporters have demanded the federal government to end the toll tax collection on Karakoram Highway near here.
“The federal government has been receiving the toll tax at three places in the distance of hardly six kilometres and employees and students of Abbottabad and Mansehra are paying this unjustified tax several times a day,” Malik Waheed, the divisional president of Pakistan People’s Party, told a grand jirga attended by representatives of the political parties, traders, transporters and others here on Monday.
The jirga also constituted an action committee which would first meet the local lawmakers, senators and federal minister for communications, seeking their support in removing the toll tax collection plaza at Khatain-da-Galla and then give a call for protests and wheel-jam strikes.
