Responding to a calling attention notice regarding closure of construction work on important projects of Upper and Lower Chitral, she said, \u201cThe impression is totally wrong, construction work on the projects is slow due to harsh weather and non-availability of funds.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, she said, her ministry was also worried and had written to the department concerned for the release of the funds for the projects.<\/p>\n
About the Chitral-Shandur road infrastructure project, she said, it would be completed by December next year.<\/p>\n
She said, for the project about Rs 1200 million had been allocated.<\/p>\n
