This colossal project has resulted in innumerable sacrifices, to the point where the phrase “A soul for every mile” was born.
According to ISPR, “KKH is the dream project of complete nation achieved through sacrifices rendered by 813 Pakistani’s embracing martyrdom during the manifestation phase. These Martyrs include 567 military and 246 civilians. 982 Pakistani’s have also suffered major injuries during the process.”The documentary “Where Men and Mountains Meet” will honor and recall the historical situation. It will further allow Pakistani’s to witness what went behind the construction and development of the project.
