Flyover to link National and Malir highways

KARACHI:

Mayor Murtaza Wahab on Wednesday launched a Rs1.6 billion flyover project on Khalid bin Waleed Road in Malir aimed at connecting the National Highway with Mehran Highway. Flanked by other elected officials, he announced the project will be completed in 12 months to provide convenience to millions of citizens.

Addressing the ceremony, the mayor stated that the four-lane flyover would not only ease traffic flow but also significantly reduce accidents at the railway crossing near Cattle Colony. He emphasized that the Pakistan Peoples Party is dedicated to providing modern infrastructure and improving the city's streets.

Wahab also criticized those who spread "negative propaganda" about development projects and announced other initiatives, including a new bridge at Azeempura and a four-lane bridge near Quaidabad.

He urged opposition parties, including the MQM and Jamaat-e-Islami, to cooperate in demanding funds from the federal government for Karachi's crucial projects like the K-IV water supply scheme.

The Mayor reiterated his commitment to public service, dismissing political rivals as "hypocrites" focused on propaganda rather than practical solutions.

He concluded by affirming his government's resolve to complete ongoing projects and deliver tangible relief to the people of Karachi.
