RAWALPINDI: Kachehry Chowk, one of Rawalpindi’s busiest traffic points, has been renamed Marka-e-Haq Square following the completion of a major remodelling project aimed at improving traffic flow in the city.
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz was scheduled to formally inaugurate the project on Sunday, May 10, 2026. The project, reportedly completed in six to seven months, was originally expected to take much longer.
The development includes two flyovers and three underpasses designed to reduce congestion for commuters travelling within Rawalpindi and between Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The project is expected to handle more than 250,000 vehicles daily, making movement easier for motorists using The Mall, Rashid Minhas Road, Jinnah Park, and nearby routes.
The remodelled KachehryChowk flyover and underpass have been named Marka-e-Haq, while other parts of the project include the Jinnah Underpass and Flyover, and the Iftikhar Janjua Underpass. A monument has also been established near Baggi Park as part of the development.
The project cost has been reported at around Rs. 19 billion. Frontier Works Organisation was involved in the work, with quality checks linked to the Punjab Communication and Works Department.
Security arrangements were made for the inauguration ceremony, with personnel from Rawalpindi Police, Elite Force, Special Branch, and district police deployed in the area.
Residents have welcomed the completion of the project, expressing hope that it will ease daily traffic problems and reduce travel time in one of the city’s most crowded areas.
