Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Sunday that the Multan Road project should be completed by September 15.
Approving the construction of flyovers on the Canal and Ferozepur Road and an underpass at Kainchi near Chungi Amar Sadho, the chief minister said that these projects should be completed as soon as possible in order to make commuting easier for citizens with the resources of the City District Government.
The chief minister constituted a committee to generate additional resources for these projects. He said that the infrastructure of the city was of vital importance for development so these projects were to be completed swiftly. The chief minister, while presiding over a meeting regarding development projects, said that horticulture was also to be promoted with these projects and that work was in progress for making Ferozepur Road a signal-free corridor, considering the heavy traffic on the road.
He said that the Kalma Chowk Flyover had been completed in a record time period of 135 days and the rest of the projects were to be completed on the same pace and that the flyovers on the canal near Forman Christian College and at Kainchi were vital for regulating traffic on Ferozepur Road. The repair of roads damaged due to the construction of Kalma Chowk Flyover would be completed soon and that more shade trees were to be planted near these projects, he added.
