Foundation stone laid for Rs 200m Sehba Akhtar Road Development Project
KARACHI, Apr 01 (APP):Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab on Wednesday laid the foundation stone of the Sehba Akhtar Road development project in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Town, to be completed at the cost of Rs 200 million.
Addressing the ceremony, the Mayor Karachi said that the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Sehba Akhtar Road is an important project under which not only the road would be rebuilt but the sewerage system would also be improved. The road would be approximately 1.8 kilometers long with a width ranging from 44 to 46 feet.
He stated that the road was originally constructed 22 years ago and was used daily by thousands of commuters. Due to ongoing construction work on University Road, traffic pressure on this road had increased, causing severe inconvenience to the public. “People were facing difficulties, which is why we initiated this project on a priority basis,” he said.
He added that long-standing issues of residents in Gulshan-e-Iqbal 13-D, Gulshan Chowrangi, Hassan Square, Shahrah-e-Shah Suleman Road, Wasim Bagh and surrounding areas were being addressed.
He also announced the reconstruction of the corridor from Shahrah-e-Shah Suleman Road to Hassan Square and Gulshan Chowrangi, stating that sewerage lines along this corridor would also be replaced to provide long-term relief to residents.
He said that he was personally visiting different areas daily to review progress and would soon tour District West, Malir, Keamari, and Korangi, where development work is also underway.
Murtaza Wahab said that Shahrah-e-Shah Suleman Road run from Karsaz to SITE Industrial Area, and its reconstruction would significantly reduce traffic problems.
He also announced upcoming projects on Rashid Minhas Road, Dalmia, Drigh Road to Nagan Chowrangi, and the New Karachi corridor to ease commuting difficulties.
The Mayor Karachi concluded by saying that with consistent and focused efforts across all towns, Karachi’s issues could be resolved, and the current city leadership remained fully committed to improving the lives of its citizens.
