The Punjab government is utilising all available resources to facilitate the people of the province, said Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif while addressing a ceremony during his visit and inspection of Gattwala Canal Expressway on Saturday.
He said that a number of uplift projects have been initiated across the province to bring development and prosperity.
He said that Gattwala Canal Expressway was a 3-lane project with length of 27 kilometres and would be completed within an estimated cost of Rs 16 billion.
