LAHORE: The Punjab government has successfully completed the 128-kilometre Lillah-Jhelum Road project, with a total investment of Rs. 13.538 billion, marking a significant milestone five years after construction commenced in 2021. This project aims to enhance road connectivity and travel facilities for the residents of Jhelum and Pind Dadan Khan.
