PUNJAB Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said the Nandipur power plant machinery of the project is lying at Karachi port owing to which the material has rusted while precious equipment was also stolen.

Nandipur power plant machinery is imported from China and so is Lahore metro bus fleet of 45 buses. If metro buses landed at Karachi port and went to Lahore, why doesn’t the Punjab chief minister also make the same effort for Nandipur power plant machinery?

Either the Punjab chief minister’s priority is metro bus or he wants to complete this project while the prime minister is in power.
