Hope project will be completed on time without corruption.

I'll have to disagree with you. There's no argument against investing in education. Yes, literacy rate gets increased over the year, but who is stopping your from making new schools in deprived places like Fata and South Punjab. I believe the education isn't promoted by political parties like PML-N because it would increase the general labour cost, which wouldn't sit in well with the industrialists backing PML-N.

As for your Sri Lankan example, well, Sri-Lanka is the most prosperous state in South Asia and growing at a rate of 6% per annum. Within the next few decades, they'll reach the level of Malaysia I bet. Another example of importance of education is Argentina and US. In early 1900s, Argentina was among the top 4 richest countries on Earth, and it's economy was almost as big as American. But their literacy rate was 30% compared to the American 90% at that time. Look at where Argentina is now and where US is. My point being, there's no argument against education. Simple.

You have to invest in education and infrastructure development together, Yes education is most important but to arrange funds for education and to provide economic opportunities to youth entering in millions into market every year you must invest in development as well.

Yes but priority number 1 should be education. Bangladesh is doing better than us because they have a much higher literacy rate.

Do putting education at number 1 mean that no infrastructure project to be done? Not providing economic opportunities to current workforce in market (and entering every years) will translate into anarchy and chaos.

This road was badly needed as it’s the only way to reach airport in Islamabad and train station in Pindi…….plus the local markets of Hazara division have to rely heavily on Pindi market for there local needs………and most of you will be surprised that it takes almost about 1.5 hours to travel just 36 km……and almost 4 hours to reach airport…..the reason is all the heavy transportation to Haripur, Abbottabad, Mansehra up to the Gilgit and China goes by this single lane road…….plus tourists’ rush during season’s time……definitely will help retaining the calmness of my City of Pine……

Agreed, i know people from Hazara region and they usually complain about how long it takes to reach Islamabad.

Amazing.i pass through this route atleast once per month

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Road should be low in priority it is something that can be constructed with local engineering company with local funds

Not sure why we need to take 200 Million dollar load to build a road yes for DAM construction it makes sense they need the loan for heavy machinery

CB4 borrowing $200 million dollars for the country the size of Pakistan,to build a road isn't something to be proud off.its a complete failure. Only in Pakistan,it's considered an achievement.
