Islamabad: The federal government has approved a modern motorway connecting Mansehra, Kaghan, Naran, Jhal Khand, and Chilas, including the 13.5 km Babusar Tunnel. The tunnel will be Pakistan’s longest and aims to enhance safety and connectivity in northern mountainous areas. The project features modern construction, improved roads, and safer travel options, facilitating tourism, trade, and regional development. Authorities expect this tunnel to significantly reduce travel time and provide a safer alternative to the Karakoram Highway, opening new economic and logistical opportunities in the northern region. How will this project transform travel and commerce in Pakistan’s northern territories?
