Tunnel breakthrough by end of year

 

CHITRAL, 12 Nov 08:  Lowari tunnel would see a breakthrough by end of December, reiterated NHA sources on Wednesday. Only 450 meters remaining to be drilled, the tunneling process is continuing at a pace of 435 meters per month said the source. After both ends shake hands, there would be some safety drills taken to ensure the 8.5 Km tunnel with an overburden of 1.5 km earth over it, is safe for further usage. It may be pointed out that the people of Chitral are exuberant at the very thought of realising their cherished dream of having an all weather road connection with the rest of the world. --(CN report)
