ISLAMABAD, Aug. 25 (TNS): Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has urged Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to approve the Karachi Circular Railway at the earliest so that it could be launched in December.
The chief minister called the Prime Minister Abbasi and discussed various issues between Sindh and federal government threadbare in cordial manner, including the KCR which he said is the most important project for the people of Karachi.
The project has been cleared by Central Development Working Party (CDWP) but is facing bureaucratic delay from Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC) which is purely a waste of time.
“I want to start the KCR project by the end of December, therefore it needs to be approved at the earliest and the same may also be sent to Chinese authorities for formal inclusion in CPEC,” he said.
PM Abbasi assured that he would personally get it approved, and said that it has already been included in CPEC projects.
