Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan has announced that construction of the long-awaited Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway (M-6) will begin next month, describing the development as a major step towards improving connectivity and economic activity in Sindh.
Responding to a statement by PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on X, Khan called the announcement “good news” and said the motorway project had remained pending for around three decades.
The communications minister said the M-6 would help strengthen regional connectivity and provide fresh momentum to commercial activity across Sindh and other parts of Pakistan.
Khan also announced that President Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari would be specially invited to the project’s groundbreaking ceremony.
The Sindh chief minister and members of the provincial cabinet would also be invited to attend the ceremony, he added.
The M-6 is intended to provide a motorway connection between Sukkur and Hyderabad, strengthening the north-south transport corridor through Sindh and improving links with the country’s wider motorway network.
Khan described the project as an important milestone for both Sindh and Pakistan, saying improved road connectivity would contribute to trade, transportation and broader economic development once the motorway is completed.
