The committee that met with Syed Imran Ahmed Shah in the chair was informed that about 75% physical progress of the said project has been completed while the remaining 25% work was lying in waiting due to an unwanted tug of war amongst the government of AJK/PD, NESPAK (consultant) and the contractor (Chinese Company).

Apart from that, seven special development projects worth billions of rupees will also be undertaken by the Federal Government under the Prime Minister's package in different parts of the GB Province.
The Committee decided to visit AJK and GB in order to oversee the on-ground physical progress of these projects.
The Committee also offered Fateha for the departed souls of Hurriyat Leader Syed Ali Gillani, Mohsin-e-Pakistan Dr. Abdul Qadir Khan, Muhammad Pervaiz Malik, MNA (PML-N), Sardar Sikandar Hayat Khan, Ex-Prime Minister of AJK, and martyrs of Balochistan's earthquake.
