The construction work on Metro Bus Project will begin from next week as contractors have set up a camp office in the town. Sources said that all the towns have been directed by the district administration to launch operation for clearing the route of Metro Bus from encroachments while repair work on alternate routes has also begun. The district administration is going to set up three container-offices on the route of the project where officials will be available round the clock with complete revenue record. Sources said that these offices will not only address public complaints but also ensure on-spot payments to the affectees of the project.
Meanwhile, DCO Zahid Saleem Gondal said that the process of land acquisition would be accomplished after taking public representatives, traders and civil society into confidence. “Besides paying the land owners higher than market rate, we’ll also purchase the debris of their buildings,” he declared while addressing a meeting here on Tuesday. He said that the Multan Metro would be more advanced than Lahore Metro and high speed express bus would be run. He said that steering committees comprising members of assemblies, district administration and civil society had been constituted to make the land acquisition process transparent.
He said that the Metro project had been evolved while keeping in view future traffic needs of the city. He declared that maximum land acquisition would be done to keep room for future expansions. He said that the Chief Minister had given project worth billions to offer cheaper travelling facility to the residents of South Punjab.
Briefing the participants on this occasion, the Chief Engineer of the project Sabir Khan Saddozai said that funds had been transferred to MDA for land acquisition and the project would be accomplished in record time. He added that the alternate traffic plan had also been issued.
