What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Sialkot (Sambrial)-Kharian Motorway (M-12) is behind schedule, with only 20 percent of the 69-kilometer project completed. The completion deadline has been revised to February 2028, following delays attributed to funding shortages and land acquisition issues in Sialkot and Gujrat. Separately, Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan urged the government to direct banks to consider rescheduling loans for businesses operating under 25% interest rates to reduce production costs.
