Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) while rejecting a report of the NHA on the condition of the N-25 Highway (RCD Highway) has summoned a report about repair of the highways.
According to details, a three-member bench of the top court headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Gulzar Ahmed conducted the hearing.
During proceedings, the court also summoned report from the National Highway Authority (NHA) about road accidents across the country.
CJL Gulzar questioned the spending of funds by the highways authority and expressed his disappointment over the performance of the NHA.

Justice Mazhar Alam said that 36,000 people lost their lives in road accidents in the following year.
