The Metro Bus Project completion deadline is likely to be extended by 30 to 40 days.
According to reports, permission has been taken from Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Shahbaz Sharif in extending the deadline after the contractors have excused themselves for not being able to complete the project in time.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI’s) sit-in and the extreme cold weather have been cited as the reasons for failure to complete the project on time.
Now the inauguration ceremony of the project will be held in March 2015, in which Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif will be the chief guests.
