Elevated expressway would reduce traffic congestion on canal and Multan roads: CM
Governor Sindh Imran Ismail called on Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar at his office and discussed the political situation and promotion of inter-provincial harmony. Both also condemned the negative politics of the opposition.
The CM Usman Buzdar said that the no-confidence notion of the opposition, which had fled the resignations, would also fail. Some parties have already parted ways by mistrusting the opposition alliance; therefore, the scattered PDM should first care for its existence. The country is moving forward under the leadership of PM Imran Khan but the opposition wants to put the country in reverse gear, he deplored. The government was strong while the opposition was weak, he maintained. All the opposition could not unite, even if they become united, they had no status before PM Imran Khan, he concluded.
Sindh Governor Imran Ismail said that the hue and cry of the opposition would continue like this. The people have already expressed their distrust in the opposition and the frustrated opposition could not mislead the people, he further said.
Meanwhile, a meeting on the elevated expressway project was held under the chair of Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar at his office in which progress on different ongoing development projects of LDA in Lahore was reviewed.
The CM directed to start the project without delay as an elevated expressway would provide easy access to the commuters to reach the motorway. The elevated expressway would also reduce the traffic congestion on canal and Multan roads, he noted. The CM maintained that such projects are necessary in view of the growing population as elevated expressway would reduce traffic congestion on busy roads by 65%. The ongoing Lahore projects should be completed within the stipulated time, he said.
DG LDA Ahmad Aziz Tarar briefed about the important issues of the project. Provincial Housing Minister Asad Khokhar, Chairman P&D, secretaries of housing, finance and local government departments, Principal Secretary to CM and others attended the meeting.
