Lahore metro project finalised

.
Pact on Lahore transit project

An agreement on the Lahore Mass Transit Project to be completed at a cost of 1.7 billion dollars was signed between the Punjab government and China in Beijing.

After Taunsa Power Project agreement, it is the second big achievement of Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif-led delegation visiting China.

Lahore Transport Company chairman Khawaja Ahmed Hassaan on behalf of the Punjab government whereas Zhang Shiping, Vice President of NORINCO, an international company of China, signed the agreement. Seven kilometers of urban rail spreading over a stretch of 27 km in Lahore from Gajumata to Shahdara on Ferozpur Road will be laid underground. As much as 85 per cent capital would be provided by China.

Addressing the agreement signing ceremony, Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif said that the project prepared with the cooperation of China would prove to be a beginning of public transport system revolution in Pakistan. He said that the economic cooperation of China with Punjab had transformed into solid agreements after the MoUs.

The chief minister said that the work on the project would be started during this year and the Punjab government was ready to welcome the Chinese engineers and skilled workers for the purpose.

karachi ppl (mqm and other parties) dont realize that they are loosing their advantage to lahore. yes being close to a sea port is a big advantage but cost of insecurity can increase to an extent where the sea port benefit will not be of much help.

also given that after 18th amendment provinces can pursue international relations which suit their interests, lahore is competing hard for any possible foreign investment coming in the country.

Sindh CM is more interested in working on the Thar Coal project than developing Karachi. Thats what I have noticed when reading news about Sindh province of Pakistan. Punjab CM is more interested in developing Lahore.

This is also true for Punjab that Governer of Punjab is interested in developing one city with 10 times more attentiveness than he offers to other cities of Punjab. Sindh ho ke Punjab ya khyber Pakhtoonkhua ya ke Baluchistan.. Sare leader hi *** ke *** hai.

There are also development projects in other parts of Punjab Province started by Shahbaz Sharif.

Govt utilising resources for speedy development: Shahbaz

Scope of AHS to be extended across Punjab: CM

But I admit he is giving more attention to Lahore than other parts of Punjab.
 
.
but where will we get fuel if fossil fuel powered....or electricity if electric powered????but well done by lahore and shahbaz sharif....will it be underground or above??

It will be electric powered .
And dnt worry by the time metro work is complete (2-3 years max) u would have solved the energy crisis
 
.
one can have a small power plant for metro... shouldnt be a problem if given some proper thought

yar other cities are also being developed but i admit that lahore is the main focus of punjab govt because of huge mess of traffic in 2nd largest city of pakistan.
