The first signs of failure by the Punjab government are becoming evident as they have announced a delay in the opening of Kalma Chowk which was all set to open on January 25th.
Officials have stated that it is next to impossible to complete the Kalma chowk since nearly no work has been done to complete the underpass being constructed from Centre point to Barkat market.
Sources say that the delay in the construction is due to limited manpower as the resources are being diverted towards completing the Metro Bus System (MBS).
One of the busiest intersections in the city, closure has already cause several traffic jams and traffic is being diverted from the area via model town.
Officials say that once the underpass has been completed, it will take a further 10 days for Kalma chowk to reopen.
