The inauguration ceremony was organised at the Qayyumabad Interchange of the expressway.
Addressing the event, the PPP chief said that three generations of Bhutto family were playing their role in developing the metropolis and his grandfather took revolutionary steps to improve Karachi’s infrastructure and employment.
He added that his mother and former prime minister Benazir Bhutto had also paid special attention to Karachi’s development and peace whenever the PPP came into power.
Bilawal said that former Karachi mayor Mustafa Kamal could testify that his father Asif Ali Zardari granted resources to the port city more than any other personality in the country.
