Bacha Khan Flyover:
Meanwhile, City Nazim has said that construction of Bacha Khan Flyover at Banaras Chowk would be completed in next four months with an estimated cost of Rs 1,400 million.
He said that the flyover at Banaras Chowk starting from Abdullah Government Girls College North Nazimabad to Metro Cinema in Orangi Town was named after Bacha Khan and it was very tedious to complete due to several impediments while it has cost lot of labour and money.
The pace of construction work would not be delayed or slowed down due to any excuse including paucity of necessary funds. All these projects were financed by public money and it would be a national loss if stopped.
The flyover would have completed much earlier but shifting of the underground water trunk line and other utilities beneath the flyover had caused unnecessary delay.
The shifting of water trunk has cost CDGK Rs 40 million. High-tension cables were other big hurdles, which would additionally cost CDGK Rs 45 million.
