Sardar Awais Khan Leghari efforts to rehabilitate and contribute to the construction of the road with the help of the Khadim-e-Punjab Rural Road Program (KPRRP) to ensure opportunities for the people of Dera Ghazi Khan. In 2010, floods across Pakistan left millions of people homeless and ruined thousands of square kilometers of infrastructure like Roads, bridges, and rail tracks were damaged extensively in Punjab and Sindh. In 2013, Awais Leghari’s term as MNA began and he took the initiative of developing a plan to rehabilitate these roads and to make new ones for deprived areas where people could not even say a funeral prayer without getting soaked into mud and filth during the rains. Traveling 10 km would take 40 mins on such roads and ambulances couldn’t reach patients in time. Before the construction of the roads, the people of the area were facing a lot of problems to reach D.G. Khan due to the dilapidated condition of the existing road. In 2015, Shahbaz Sharif launched KPRRP for the construction and rehabilitation of the rural area roads and Awais Khan Leghari became an active part of the plan and execution. Under the KPRRP umbrella, Awais leghari pushed hard for the quick construction of 8 carpeted roads worth around a billion rupees.
According to the KPRRP, the initiative to build 203 km comprising a total of 8 roads was taken to bring a new era of progress and prosperity in rural areas. The KPRRP thus started construction of the following roads;

Apart from that there are several other constructing and repairing roads
This revolutionary program of construction and rehabilitation of roads changed the living standard of the rural people besides promoting trade in the region. Most of these roads are in the middle of the desert, one can see how agriculture has started flourishing in the middle of the desert along the road and the very deprived area now has good accessibility. Awais Leghari also contributed to the Kot Chotha bypass project on the Indus Highway constructed at the cost of Rs.450 million. The restoration and construction of road from Mehboob Mor to Aalim Khan on Indus Highway was completed under the KPRR Program at the cost of Rs 300 million. More than 100,000 people were facilitated economically and socially and due to that reason it boosted socio-economic activities, resulting in increased land prices and economic growth like petrol pumps, shops, etc. It opened more employment opportunities with increased strategic connectivity between the main towns by lessening the traveling time. That belt is fertile and rich in producing agricultural products that sum up to millions in revenue. The rehabilitation of the road provided undoubtedly a better communication facility to the commuters especially to the peasants of the area for bringing their agricultural products to the nearby market Dera Ghazi Khan
The D.G. Khan road maintenance management majorly deals with problems related to road preservation and conservation to establish a well-maintained management system that can show the best possible solutions to mitigate these problems within a stipulated time. Different repairing techniques were used which applied after inspecting the proper cause of the damage.
