While conversing with common people during his visit, the CM said that the project was being clogged due to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) which delayed the project by about 22 months.
He said that the party, which deprived the people of international standard travelling facilities, did nothing in its province.
He said that the OLMT Lahore was supposed to launch its operations on Dec 25, 2017 and facilitate three lakh passengers daily, but the PTI showed its anti-people policies by creating hurdles in its completion. The party also wasted the time of people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, he censured.
Shehbaz Sharif said that he was personally monitoring the progress on the project and they would make all-out efforts for early completion of the project. The OLMT project Lahore is a great gift of China for the people of Pakistan.

Chairman of the Steering Committee of OLMT Khawaja Ahmed Hassan, MD Punjab Mass Transit Authority, Commissioner Lahore Division, CR NORINCO officials and other officers attended the meeting.
