Punjab govt approved the PKR 4.45 billion PC-1: Sagian Road Project
The Punjab government has approved the PKR 4.45 billion PC-1: Sagian Road Project. It says that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif started work on the dualization of a stretch of the Karachi-Chaman (N-25) National Highway on April 24, according to a report in the national dailies.
The governor, the minister for communications, the minister for housing, and the minister for planning and development were all there when the ground was broken for the new airport. The provincial ministers were also there, as well as the federal minister for planning and development, Ahsan Iqbal, and the chief minister of the province, Abdul Qudoos.
Mr. Shehbaz told the government to start working on the entire 330-mile route at once, not in parts. A road project will help people get around to other cities, so it will help the economy, he said. The Prime Minister told the agencies to finish the project in one and a half years.
He also promised to help 50,000 low-income families who agreed to send their kids to school. Shehbaz Sharif has also asked for a feasibility report for the Quetta Metro Bus and for a technical university to be built.
