Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz senior leader Hamza Shhahbaz has claimed that the metro train project will be completed in 2017. In a speech in the concluding session of the "ideological summer camp" organised by the Nazria Pakistan Trust on Wednesday, he said numerous development projects are nearing to completion.
He said the country is facing manifold challenges and the current government is working day and night to address them. About power projects, he said, "The government is attaching priority to overcome the energy crisis and work is speedily underway on 1,300MW each coal power projects in Sahiwal and Jamshooro, 1,400MW LNG project of the Punjab government, 3,600MW LNG project of the federal government, 1,400MW with the Tarbela Dam Extension and 1,350MW through the Neelam Jhelum project."
He further said, "There will be the end of power cuts in 2017 on completion of these projects. The government is striving hard to achieve big targets like overcoming the power outages, terrorism and poverty." About the continuation of the democratic process, he said, "It provides a guarantee of progress and peaceful transfer of power which is a good omen. The government which fails to deliver will have to be accountable before the public."
He then claimed that his government would never allow anybody to politicise the Pakistan-China Economic Corridor Project and called for training the youth. Other speakers were former president Nazria Pakistan Trust and Chairman Mohammad Rafique Tarrar, Doctor Rafiq Ahmed, Justice Mian Aftab Farrakh, Mian Farooq Altaf, Doctors Parveen Khan and Ajmal Niazi and Shahid Rashid.
