CDGK, govt rift causes delay in CNG bus project
By: Ramzan Chandio | Published: June 24, 2009

KARACHI - The differences between Karachi Mass Transit and Sindh Mass Transit of provincial government is one of the major causes behind delay in the implementation of the CNG bus project in the province.
However, the delay in the establishment of high-pressure gas filling stations in the metropolis is another reason for non-implementation of this much-awaited project under which 4,000 CNG buses are to run in Karachi and other cities of the province.
Provincial Minister for Transport, Akhtar Hussain Jadoon, informed said this during question-hour session in the Sindh Assembly on Tuesday.
He also answered queries from members of the Sindh Assembly about the CNG buses project.
To a question from Ms. Husna Aftab of MQM, Akhtar Jadoon replied that the proposed CNG bus project was to be funded by federal government. The Sindh government has sent a requisite of public transport to federal government, he said, adding that due to technical problems this project was facing some delay. He further said the CDGK has prepared its own Karachi Mass Transit Project, while Transport Department of provincial government is prepared by Sindh Mass Transit Project at provincial level.
“The Sindh government wants that Karachi Mass Transit Project of CDGK should be part of provincial department. This variation of projects at two tiers of governments is the major reason behind delay in the implementation of CNG bus project. Now it will be initiated through National Mass Transit for Sindh province”, the minister said.

I hope China joins in the Karachi mass transit project so the project can speed up, but the differences between the City District Government Karachi and Sindh Provincial Government is whats really causing the dealy in the project.

Pakistan is very B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!



I never realized how beautiful. Old buildings plus modern ones. In the USA Pakistan is portrayed as a "backwards, mullah-ridden, Taliban desert", but this is false. Every day Pakistan is becoming more modern (with Chinese help of course!), and Europe is just being ENVIOUS.

What are you trying to prove Pakistanis are unable to do any thing without the help of China? God helps those who help themselves and Chinese cannot help us if we are not willing to stand on our feet. They are not feeding us neither are we infant child who can do nothing without the help of others…


Yes we are proud of having such a great friend the China…but Chinese do not say on any forum that they are helping in Pakistan’s development…they never show off ever this is not their nature.


What I smell here a high level of trolling is going on here…well Mr. whatever you are I will try to check each and every post of yours and see what’s your agenda here…ok

China has helped Pakistan and is still helping Pakistan a lot with Pakistan's infrastructure, we are very thankful to China..but most of Pakistan's development and infrastructure have been developed by our Pakistanis on their own. We all know before the 1960's Islamabad was nothing but a forest, our Pakistanis built Islamabad from the ground up and now we are building Gwadar from the ground up... but we have our friend's, China's, help in Gwadar development that we didnt have when we were building Islamabad in the 1950's-1960's.


Yes Pakistanis are fully capable of developing their country on their own, but it wouldn't hurt to have a little help from our friends....it will only speed up the development.
