🏗️ Project Ki Poori Tafseel — Kya Kya Bana Rawalpindi Mein?
Rawalpindi Kutchery Chowk Remodeling project Punjab government ka ek ahem aur comprehensive urban infrastructure initiative hai. Is project ke tahat Murree Road ke sabse congested area — Kacheri Chowk se Jinnah Park tak — ko mukamal taur par remodel kiya gaya. Ye infrastructure Rawalpindi ke sabse zyada traffic wale route par hai jahan har roz lakhs log guzarte hain. Ab is area mein signal-free movement mumkin hogi — na traffic signal, na congestion.
The project was completed in a record 179 days, which Punjab government officials described as a milestone in modern construction management. Two flyovers and three underpasses were built simultaneously, which is technically challenging and was accomplished without compromising engineering standards. The entire stretch has now been renamed Marka-e-Haq Square in honor of Pakistan’s 2025 military operation. A monument has also been installed in Baggi Park, near Fatima Jinnah Women University, and the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) has been tasked with erecting another Marka-e-Haq Monument on The Mall.
Is project mein Pakistan ki pehli state-of-the-art pedestrian bridge bhi Rawalpindi mein banai gayi hai jis se paisadon ka raasta zyada mehfooz aur asaan ho gaya hai. Ye bridge alag elevation par hai jis se pedestrians aur vehicles dono ki movement smooth hogi.

“The signal-free corridor will bring a fundamental change in Rawalpindi’s urban culture. Punjab government is working to provide maximum facilities to residents and is utilising all available resources.”
