Housing Society Interchange Near Islamabad Motorway Approved

The National Highway Authority (NHA) has approved the construction of an interchange for Housing Society, Eighteen, near the Motorway link road in Islamabad. This decision came after the intervention of the Wafaqi Mohtasib (Ombudsman), Ejaz Ahmad Qureshi.

Elite Estate (Pvt) Ltd., the developers of Eighteen, applied for the interchange in 2019. They paid a processing fee of Rs. 5 million and submitted the design plans along with a cheque of Rs. 72,585,000 to the NHA. Despite fulfilling these requirements, the project faced delays for several years.

The housing society approached the Wafaqi Mohtasib, highlighting the inconvenience caused to its residents due to NHA’s inaction. After multiple hearings at the Ombudsman’s Secretariat, the NHA finally granted initial approval for the interchange construction.
