Rawalpindi: Since two months, the Punjab government has not authorised the Rawalpindi Ring Road project’s project concept (PC) 1. On June 29, the Rawalpindi government submitted the PC-1 of the new Ring Road project to the Punjab government for final clearance. As a result, the already delayed project has come to a halt. In August, a deadline for commencing work on the project was set.

The Rawalpindi administration hoped that the Punjab government would approve the PC 1 in two weeks, and that construction on the project would begin in August, according to the official.
