Kot Radha Kishan: [Sadaf Arshad District Coordinator ReNews Pakistan]
On the Kot Radha Kishan main road, increasing traffic pressure and high speed movement of industrial vehicles have led residents to demand immediate expansion of the road into a dual carriageway. Citizens say the existing single road is no longer sufficient to handle the growing traffic load, resulting in frequent accidents.
According to locals, the continuous flow of heavy vehicles and lack of proper road width and traffic control have made the route highly dangerous. Residents have termed the situation a serious threat to human life.
The affected public has appealed to the concerned authorities to prioritize the widening of the road and implement necessary safety measures to reduce accidents and ensure protection of lives and property.

Lahore | ReNews Pakistan
In Pakistan’s real estate landscape, investor attention has traditionally been concentrated in residential plots, commercial plazas, apartment projects, and off plan files in developing housing societies. These segments dominate advertising cycles, dealer networks, and short-term speculative activity in major cities such as Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad.
However, a gradual shift in investment thinking is emerging among long-term investors who are looking beyond conventional urban real estate cycles. Agricultural land is increasingly being viewed as an undervalued but strategically significant asset class.
According to official economic estimates, Pakistan’s agriculture sector contributes approximately 19–20% to national GDP and provides employment to nearly 37–40% of the workforce. With more than 47 million hectares of total land area, a large portion remains classified as cultivable, forming the backbone of food production, livestock supply chains, and rural trade networks.
Unlike urban property markets driven heavily by speculation and rapid resale cycles, agricultural land offers a fundamentally different investment profile. It is a productive asset tied to crop yields, water availability, irrigation infrastructure, and commodity demand. In many regions, especially along expanding urban fringes, farmland also carries long term potential for peri-urban conversion as cities expand outward.
Recent market trends indicate that agricultural land located near major urban corridors has recorded annual appreciation in the range of 10% to 20% in some cases, particularly where access to roads, water channels, and developing infrastructure improves accessibility. At the same time, income from cultivation depending on crop adds an additional yield component that urban speculative assets typically do not provide.
As inflationary pressures and regulatory uncertainty continue to affect parts of the urban property sector, investors are increasingly reassessing farmland not merely as rural property, but as a stable, multi dimensional asset class with both productive and future development value.
