Lahore Should Be Developed Like Delhi: Pak Minister​

Impressed with the infrastructure development of the national capital, a visiting Pakistani provincial minister today said Lahore should be developed on the lines of Delhi.

Minister of Food in Pakistan's Punjab province Abdul Gafoor Khan Mayo, while addressing a function at Adarsh Public School, said he was "greatly impressed" with the development taking place in Delhi.

Known as Moonlight Public School during pre-partition days, the Adarsh Public School used to function at Lahore.

The minister said he is yet to visit such a developed city where one can find wide roads, spread out Metro network, flyovers and vast greenery, a statement from Parliamentary Secretary to the Delhi Chief Minister, Mukesh Sharma said.

The Minister, praising the functioning of democracy and sense of secularism in India, said there was a need for further strengthening people-to-people relations in the two neighbouring countries.

He said that the Punjab government there would feel honoured to invite Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and her Parliamentary Secretary Mukesh Sharma to Lahore, the statement said.

WTF????​

Have all of those, wide roads= LRR , spread out metro network= Rapid Bus Transit phase 1 27km long 90% complete (can later put train tracks on the route to make it a rail system), Phase 2 construction starts soon, flyovers= tons of them ranging from 1 to 8 Km long, the only things missing in Lahore are; a world class airport (current one is over crowded already) and tall skyscrapers.​

Well, the minister has gone crazy I guess. I can't if Lahore is better than Delhi but Lahore sure has its own class. It's a clean city overall. If someone wants to compare Delhi, the capital, compare it with Islamabad.

You mean to say - Chandigarh is better developed than Delhi. Chandigarh may be better planned than older parts of Delhi but has nothing in comparision to Delhi from Airports to Infrastructure to buildings and places of Historical importance.

and I have been to both the places.

No You Cant Compare Islamabad with delhi!! islamabad was city build from scratch and planned to be capital, it doesnt have historical sites like delhi or Lahore and has less population!

Lahore Should be Compared with Delhi And Karachi With Mumbai Even though we dont have metro Trains!! Cities are comparable.

Google it, buddy! Try Metro, Delhi airport, Infrastructure. The only mess in Delhi are the older parts of Delhi but they are improving a lot as well. There is no comparison whatsoever between Delhi and Lahore or other cities of Pakistan.
