📈 Cabinet Approves Transfer of 60 Provincial Roads to RDA for Urgent Rehabilitation

• Decision Overview: The Cabinet of Ministers has approved appointing an official committee to recommend transferring the rehabilitation of around 60 urgent provincial and local government roads to the Road Development Authority (RDA). • Background: The move addresses widespread public and official requests at District Coordination Committees for RDA intervention on deteriorated roads currently outside its jurisdiction and beyond local authority capacity. • Committee Scope: Representatives from key ministries, the Finance Commission, provincial authorities, and the RDA will study and submit recommendations covering legal, administrative, and institutional arrangements. • National Context: While the RDA conventionally manages national highways (A and B class roads, expressways, and bridges), this proposed mechanism aims to fast-track critical infrastructure improvements across local road networks.
