PAF to use motorway as runway?

Published September 22, 2016 Updated September 22, 2016 12:00am

Responding to India's warmongering and belligerent statements after the terror attack in Uri, Pakistan army is said to have started making preparations and arrangements for aircraft landing on the motorway. Concrete and steel barriers on the motorway have been removed while the conventional white and yellow traffic lines have also been erased from the motorway to convert it into a runway that stretches from Kala Shah Kaku to Sheikhupura.
The military exercises have also started as the military troops have begun to pour into the area now devoted to the military and war purpose. However, the Motorway authorities have stated that Motorway Islamabad-Peshawar (M-1) Burhan to Sawabi section was blocked for all kinds of traffic yesterday from 02AM to 02PM today due to construction of a road.
The traffic going towards Peshawar will depart from Burhan interchange to GT Road and the traffic coming from Peshawar to Islamabad will depart from Sawabi interchange to GT Road. Motorway Islamabad-Lahore (M-2) Kala Shah Kaku to Sheikhupura section is being blocked today from 5AM to 5PM due to construction of road for all kinds of traffic. The traffic going towards Lahore and coming from Lahore shall depart from Sheikhupura interchange to GT Road. Therefore, road users have been requested that they must use alternate GT Road during the abovementioned time period. For further information, help, guidance and inconvenience dial NH&MP Helpline (130).
