PC-1of the project for construction of an underpass connecting Judicial Complex with the District Courts was sent to Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif for final approval on Sunday.
The project would cost Rs50 million.
President District Bar Association Sajid Ilyas Bhatti said that the underpass was the need of the time as eight accidents had occurred in just last few days.
He said that crossing the road between the Judicial Complex and the district courts had become very risky owing to the heavy traffic.
He said further that the district administration had promised to install signals and mark zebra-crossing on the road but to no avail. The construction of the proposed underpass was the safest option in this regard, he said.
