  "account": "The Bhatti Chowk Underpass in Lahore has been completed and opened to traffic in just four months, according to the Punjab government. The project was part of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif's and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's vision for public service. The underpass has addressed traffic congestion in Lahore's Inner City and the area around Data Darbar, improving traffic flow and reducing travel times. Previously, the journey through the area took 10 to 15 minutes, but after the underpass opened, motorists and transporters now experience only a two to three minute journey. Citizens have welcomed the project, appreciating the Punjab government's efforts to complete the underpass quickly. The government believes the project will ensure smoother traffic movement in one of Lahore's busiest areas and ease congestion that had affected commuters for years.",
