Decisions have been made to make Liaqat Bagh chowk and Mareer chowk signal free in order to allay the traffic pressure.
The feasibility study and formation of designs for this new project will cost Rs 10 million. This project has been made part of the Annual Development Program (ADP) for the year 2016-17.
Punjab government will accord the final approval once the feasibility study and design is finalized along with the estimated cost.
Ryalto chowk which is located in between Liaqat Bagh and Mareer chowk has already been made signal free through an underpass but traffic jams prevail. This way traffic flow from Liaqat Bagh to Committee chowk and Liaqat Bagh to Mareer chowk is being affected adversely creating difficulties for citizens.
Sources said that other chowks of Rawalpindi city where traffic creates problems for the people will also be made signal free in the future.
