Federal Parliamentary Secretary Danyal Chaudhry has inaugurated the reconstructed Rawal Road and Band Khanna Road in Rawalpindi, according to an official government press release published on November 6, 2026. He also announced plans to speed up the Gangal-to-Expressway Link Road. The two reconstructed roads are reported as completed. The Gangal link is a future commitment, and no date has been given.
The reconstructed Rawal Road and Band Khanna Road were opened by the parliamentary secretary. The release as we have it does not give the length of either road, the cost, the contractor or the agency that carried out the work. We therefore do not state them. Rawal Road was also named a priority in a separate proposal for road and drainage repairs in Rawalpindi, which was still awaiting provincial approval. We do not know whether the two are related and we do not link them.
The parliamentary secretary announced plans to expedite the Gangal-to-Expressway Link Road. The release does not say what "expedite" will mean in practice, when work will start or what it will cost. It is a commitment to move faster and not a completed or funded project. Provincial announcements are published by the Government of the Punjab.
It is not known when the Gangal link will be built, how much it will cost or how it will be funded. We make no estimate of when residents will see progress.
The completed road improvements could improve access to the surrounding residential and commercial areas. The Gangal link remains a future development commitment, so no area can be said to benefit from it yet. No effect on property values has been established.
Residents and businesses on the two roads can expect smoother travel once the roads are fully in use. Those hoping for the Gangal link should wait for a published plan and schedule. The signals to watch are the start of work on the Gangal link, its cost and the condition of the reconstructed roads over the first months of use.
