Muslim Town flyover: Shahbaz blames power outages for delay in project
Also, on Friday Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif kept half a promise by inaugurating one side of the Muslim Town flyover.
The chief minister had been warned, when he broke ground, that his March 23 deadline was too ambitious. However, Shahbaz Sharif had insisted. On Friday, he announced a new deadline for the project, April 18.
In his address during a visit to the site, Sharif blamed power outages for the delay. Continuous power outages, he said, had affected the entire country “not just a public welfare project like the Muslim Town flyover”, he said.
He asked the people to resolve to make Pakistan a great country by removing looters and plunderers. Sharif said that the flyover would facilitate the public. He then talked about Punjab government projects including distribution of laptops among students, the metro bus service and scholarships offered by the government. “No Mr 10 Per Cent is involved in the projects,” he said.
