LAHORE:
The Punjab government has decided to construct underground service corridors along major roads to pass utility lines, including pipes for Sui gas and wires for telephone, internet and electricity. Lahore Orange Line Metro Train (OLMT) Steering Committee Chairman Khawaja Ahmad Hassaan, while chairing a projects weekly progress review meeting here on Wednesday, directed authorities to make arrangements for this purpose. Hassaan also called on the Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) to start horticulture work on the completed sections of the metro train site. He suggested the authority introduce vertical horticulture to make the more visually appealing. He also directed the Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) and Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) to increase vigilance along the under construction site of the metro train during rainy days. Both agencies should depute their mobile teams for cleanliness and removal of stagnant water if any, he said.
