KARACHI, March 25: City Nazim Mustafa Kamal has said that I.I. Chundrigar Road will be constructed in two phases keeping in view its importance and possible difficulties to citizens. He said this while visiting one of the city’s most important arteries on Sunday to review ongoing renovation and beautification work. He directed the officials concerned to install traffic signs and boards of alternate routes for the guidance of commuters.

He maintained that he would not tolerate any delay in the construction work of I.I. Chundrigar Road, as all major financial institutions, including leading banks, are situated on this road. Therefore, work should be completed in minimum possible time.

He said that after completion I.I. Chundrigar Road would become a model road for the entire country.

Meanwhile, the nazim also issued directives to redesign two roundabouts situated on 5,000 Road in North Karachi, so that they could be reduced to allow the smooth flow of traffic on the main road.
