Working in two shifts, the official said that teams are carpeting and repairing sections of Jinnah Avenue, Seventh Avenue, Ninth Avenue, Lehtrar Road, Expressway, Fazal-e-Haq Road, Minister’s Enclave, Srinagar Highway, IJP Road, roads and streets in Sectors F-6, F-7, F-8, G-6, G-7, G-8, G-9, G-10, I-8, I-9, I-10, D-12, and others.
For this purpose, the MPO department is also preparing tonnes of construction material daily at its asphalt plant which had been non-functional for the past two years.

To ensure the smooth execution of these projects, the CDA officials said that the administration has provided funds for these developmental works.
