Deadline Announced for Rs. 1 Billion Karachi Road Project

Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab has set September 30 as the final date to complete the development work on Tori Bangash Road, emphasizing its significance as an alternate route connecting District West, Orangi, Keamari, and Hub River Road. The mayor personally inspected the ongoing construction on Tori Bangash Road on Tuesday, with officials from the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation's Engineering Department providing a briefing on the project.

The estimated cost of the entire project stands at approximately Rs. 1 billion. Upon completion, the road is expected to enhance commuting experiences for residents in the surrounding areas, making daily travel more convenient for thousands of people. In addition to the roadwork, a new stormwater drain is currently under construction along the route.

The mayor assured that the drain would be completed within the next few days, ahead of the final roadwork completion. He highlighted that the stormwater drain would also enhance drainage during rainfall, making it a crucial component of the project. Wahab directed the concerned departments to meet the deadline to ensure that residents could reap the benefits of the project as soon as possible.

The mayor further informed that the KMC is undertaking development initiatives across Karachi and aims to finalize ongoing schemes during the current year. He added that the authority is actively working on various projects aimed at improving the city's municipal infrastructure and basic facilities.
