KARACHI:
Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has approved Rs650 million for construction of flyover at Sunset Boulevard and visited on Sunday the area to identify the alternative traffic route so that work can be started on the schemes.
He was accompanied by Local Government Minister Jam Khan Shoro, Planning and Development Chairperson Muhammad Waseem and Principal Secretary to CM Sohail Rajput, who visited the ongoing roads schemes from Metropole to Port Qasim.
Speaking to the media, the CM claimed that he has inspected all the roads where the construction work has recently completed, such as the flyover at Manzil Pump and underpass at Drigh Road. "I am fully satisfied with the quality of work but yes I am not satisfied with the pace of work," he said. The CM added that the purpose of him visiting the sites where the work is in progress was to push the contractors and concerned engineers to speed up the work. "You have to finish it at the earliest because I am going to launch phase-II of the Karachi Package of Rs12 billion," he said.
CM believes Sindh will get new look after ADP schemes completed
The CM claimed that he is worried about the growing incidents of attacks on policemen. "We have identified the gangs involved in targeted killing [of policemen] and soon the people will receive good news about these gang getting caught," he said.
According to CM, Karachi is most beautiful but its beauty has faded because the focus was diverted towards elimination of terrorists, extortionist and target killers. "The government gave special attention to the reconstruction of the infrastructure of the city after crushing the terrorists," he said, adding that now the government is focusing on the stability of the peace in the city.
Earlier, the CM started his visit by inspecting the under-construction roads and underpass. He visited Metropole where the work is yet to be started. On Sharae Faisal, the CM stopped at Malir section where construction of the road has been going on since a long time. He directed the relevant engineer to complete this section of the road because it was causing problems for smooth flow traffic.
Rs635billion to be set aside for development
The CM also stopped at Manzil Pump and inspected the work on the footpaths being constructed along the road leading to Thatta. He expressed his displeasure on the slow pace of work and directed the works department secretary to finish the work within 10 days.
The CM also visited the under-construction underpass at Submarine Chowrangi, where local government minister, Shoro, briefed him about the progress of the work. He told the CM that the quality of work has been maintained and the scheme was taking time in completion because of the heavy traffic.
