LAHORE - Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said as much as 7,000 kilometer roads with the cost of Rs 67billion have so far been completed in the province under the Khadim-e-Punjab Rural Roads Programme.


“This project has proved ‘game-changer’ for the promotion of rural economy. This is the largest programme of construction and rehabilitation of rural roads in the history of country as the rural population has got better transport facilities,” the CM said while talking to a PML-N delegation Friday.

And then people wonder why Shabaz get so many votes in Punjab. Rural Sindh is kandhar, I bet my village 100 years ago was more developed then today rural sindh. PPP failed for that reason in punjab, now people can see what they have done in Sindh unlike in Bhutto era. PTI will fail as well if they don't develop KP on par with punjab.
