Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has said that Orange Line Metro Train is a means of transport for the masses and Tehreek-e-Insaaf has showed its enmity toward people of Lahore by delaying this project. He stated that due to delays in the project, precious 22 month went down the drain. He said Lahore Orange Line Metro Train was scheduled to start its service on December 25 and 300000 people were supposed to travel on this train from Dera Gujran to Ali Pur every single day.
He expressed these views while talking to media after the meeting at engineering university site office Tuesday. He said Imran Niazi failed to set up metro bus project in Peshawar in more than four years time and if he could do so now in a period of six months, then it would be a big thing.
He stated if conscious people of KPK give PML-N an opportunity to serve them in the next general elections, then the PML-N would ensure early completion of metro bus. He stated that Pakistan Kidney and Liver Transplant Institute project will be inaugurated soon and this would be the most modern and state of the art centre in all of South Asia. Replying to a question, he said that justice should be equal for all and sundry.
Earlier, a high-level meeting was held at the site office of Lahore Orange Line Metro Train near the UET during the day to review progress of the project. The Chief Minister was given a briefing about the progress on civil, electrical and mechanical works. Addressing the meeting, the Chief Minister said that Lahore Orange Line Metro Train Project is a gift of China to the people of Pakistan.
