Mr Khan said the scheme, which was launched 30 years back, should have been completed with in a period of five years, but because of the negligence and lack of interest shown on part of the housing societies involved, the scheme was still lying in abeyance.

Emphasising early completion of the scheme, the nazim said it was only possible if the societies as well as the city government executed the development works speedily and simultaneously.
He said the ongoing development under the city government was a result of honesty and transparency with which the affairs of the city were being run. The nazim said that the people who had been given mandate by the city should contribute towards its development. On the occasion, the president of the Maulana Ehteramul Huq Thanvi Society, besides others, also spoke. -APP
