During his day-long visit to Karachi, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Friday agreed to speed up the timely completion of the federal government-funded development projects in the province.
The development comes after PM Shehbaz, who is on day-long visit to Karachi, met Sindh CM and held discussion on different projects the federal government has initiated in the province, according to a statement issued by the CM House on Friday.
CM Murad told the PM that the provincial government with the assistance of donor agencies have started work on BRT Redline and Yellow Line projects.
“The work on the Red Line project was in full swing while work on the Yellow Line would be started shortly,” the CM said and added the solution of traffic issues in Karachi would be resolved when the Karachi Circular Railway project started.
The prime minister assured the chief minister that his government was working closely with Chinese authorities to get KCR in the CPEC-priority project. He added that the KCR was important and it would be initiated with Chinese assistance very soon.
They also discussed the issue of the growing cost of electricity which has created unrest among the people of the country, as per the communique.
Both the leaders after a thorough discussion agreed to convert all the coal-fired power projects on Thar coal so that the cost of production could be minimised.
The prime minister said that his government was working to provide relief to the people of the country.
He added that indigenous sources of energy production such as coal and renewable energy would be cheaper to provide relief to the people of the country.
