 leadership of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf has not only approved the Chitral Dorah Road and Chitral Shandur road but has also notified staff for land acquisition for the roads. Chitral-Shandur road will be connected to Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral-Dorah road will be connected to the Central Asian republics via Afghanistan. However, for the latter’s connectivity, peace and stability in Afghanistan is a priority.
With the connection of Central Asian Republics, Chitral will be in a leading position. Shah Salim will become a dry port and commercial hub. Tourism will be promoted. Existing cultural relationsbetween Chitral and CARs will be enhanced as majority of Chitralis trace their cultural roots to these states. Employments for the locals will be increased which will improve livelihoods of the people of Chitral. In conclusion, this connectivity will change the overall socio economic conditions of the people of Pakistan.
