KARACHI, April 18: Sindh chief secretary K. B. Rind has said there would be marked changes in the transport network, and decrease in traffic congestion on main city roads and roundabouts once the project of Karachi Northern Bypass is accomplished.
“Safety on roads will be improved, heavy traffic and corresponding pollution will decrease in city limits and a considerable time spent on travelling will be saved, besides lessening the number of accidents,” he said while talking to a delegation, led by a social worker Muhammad Azhar, which drew the attention of the chief secretary towards the problems faced by the people because of frequent traffic jams on main roads and requested him to issue orders in this regard.
Mr. Rind observed that Karachi is confronted with immense problems, and transport is one of the major problems confronting the people.
He informed that foreseeing all such problems, the National Highway Authority had started construction of Karachi Northern Bypass in 2001-02.—PPI
