DR FAROOQ: Deputy convener of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s coordination committee, Dr Farooq Sattar, has demanded of the government to make public the map of the Lyari Expressway and details related to the rehabilitation of people being affected by project.

He was speaking in Liaquatabad at a gathering of people affected by the project. He said that the people of Karachi and their representatives were not against the project but the government officials and bureaucracy were creating doubts in people’s mind.

Dr Farooq, former mayor of Karachi, further observed that the “alignment works of the project were being carried out in an unjust manner with the objective to grasp a good size of land for distribution within.

He urged the government to pay compensation to the affected people as per market price, as done in the case of people who were affected due to Tarbella and Mangla dams and the motorway project, said a press release.
