The 8.5 km long tunnel provides all weather resistant route, connecting Chitral to rest of the country. Construction of Lowari Tunnel has been a long standing demand of the people of the area which had been negated in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">While addressing the ceremony, the premier stated that although Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) did not win in this constituency but still ruling party is working here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5970d585a3fcf-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2245\" style=\"width:360px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5970d585a3fcf-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5970d585a3fcf-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5970d585a3fcf-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5970d585a3fcf.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif offering dua after unveiling plaque of Lowari Tunnel at Dir Upper.

The travelling time of Peshawar has been reduced by 7 hours due to the construction of this tunnel.&nbsp;The tunnel is one of the longest tunnels in&nbsp;South Asia, and is the longest in Pakistan. It lies between Upper Dir and Chitral. Before the construction of the tunnel, Chitral used to cut off from rest of the rest of the country during the long and harsh winters before the tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Lowari Top (10,230\u00a0ft.), locally known as &#8220;Rawley&#8221;, has historically been a nightmare for the Chitralis. Thousands of passengers had died in the past while commuting to and from Chitral on Lowari mostly due to avalanches, Frostbites, Blizzards and later on, road accidents. The spiralling road consisting of some 49 turns was used to ascend &amp; descend the elevated pass of the Hindukush. After the 1990s, Travelers used to travel into\u00a0Kunar, Afghanistan and then back into\u00a0Pakistan to access the rest of the country. In 1954, the Mehtar of Chitral His Highness\u00a0Saifur Rehman was killed when his airplane crashed into Lowari Top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.09.19-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.09.19-PM.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.09.19-PM-276x300.jpeg 276w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"645\" height=\"804\" src=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.15.59-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2243\" style=\"width:347px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.15.59-PM.jpeg 645w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.15.59-PM-241x300.jpeg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Above: Pictures of MNA Ataliq Jafar Shah, who dreamt of a tunnel through Lowari for the first time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of a tunnel in Lowari was first presented by Ataliq Jafar Ali Shah in 1957 when he was member of the West Pakistan Assembly. In 1973, he tabled a resolution in the assmebly which was unanimously passed by the members. As a result, the then Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto started the work on the tunnel in 1975. The project was soon shut down due to lack of funds &amp; then when Bhutto&#8217;s government was toppled by Gen Zia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.34%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/life-v2-0-855.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/life-v2-0-855.jpg 800w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/life-v2-0-855-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/life-v2-0-855-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.34%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lowari_Pass_road_-_Ashfaq7-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lowari_Pass_road_-_Ashfaq7-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Lowari_Pass_road_-_Ashfaq7-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f1ddc625d7b2082b7e109cea97abfe04.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2248\" style=\"width:249px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f1ddc625d7b2082b7e109cea97abfe04.jpg 640w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f1ddc625d7b2082b7e109cea97abfe04-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f1ddc625d7b2082b7e109cea97abfe04-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"867\" height=\"866\" src=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.40.21-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2249\" style=\"width:330px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.40.21-PM.jpeg 867w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.40.21-PM-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.40.21-PM-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/khowari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-04-at-9.40.21-PM-768x767.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 867px) 100vw, 867px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A newspaper clip reporting the a Chitrali youth organization demanding the construction of the tunnel in 2002<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Above: Pictures of Lowari Top before the construction of the tunnel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The project was resumed in 2005 by General Parvez Musharaf as Rail tunnel but the concept was later altered to a road tunnel.
