Punjab Cabinet Approves Mass Underground Transit System in Lahore

The Punjab cabinet approved an underground mass transit system for Lahore this Friday, as well as the inclusion of subterranean blue and purple line mass transit projects as a part of the Annual Development Program.

The decision was taken at the sixth cabinet meeting, which was chaired by the Punjab Chief Minister (CM), Chaudhry Parvez Elahi.

The CM declared on the occasion that he did not wish to damage Lahore by introducing an underground railway system. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will help start the Blue Line, Purple Line, and mass transportation projects.

He went on to say that the project will be developed on a build-operate-transfer basis, with no money coming from the Punjab government.

The subway would run from Valencia Town to Karma Chowk, Liberty Chowk, and Data Darbar, eventually reaching the airport.

Eight major Orange Line railway stations would also be built. The cabinet also authorized the Planning and Development Board and the Transport Department to negotiate technical assistance and finance with the ADB.


  • there are low dollar reserves in the bank and they are approving these luxurious projects??? Hmmmm….

      • sorry sis I’m not from Endia… Just concerned how after power change these guys overcame us who made us so called promises and now eating away our resources with these ancient tactics..

        • Post claims that there will be no funding from the punjab government. But these gimmick are to record it on file so any government will excute it in future the credit will still be claimed by those who first brought it on the file.

        • all im saying is currently there is practically no reserve in the banks, they’ve halted and effected businesses of all importers and exporters of pakistan (yes I am one of the exporters), and now they’re selling this topi drama which we should have after we jumped into category of first world countries, not one of those countries whose economy is running on american dollar… instead they should be fixing all the issues that we’re facing here…

          there’s a reason exporters like us are shifting to dubai very fast because of ill mentality of idiots here.. US has inflation rate of 8% and their leaders are running all around the world to fix the issues, our inflation rate is 22% and we are just dancing around a paid legally bought watch while they depleted billions from our accounts and took all money to the london…

          no I’m not son of imran you son of a biach….

            • na wo london bhaga hah aapke illegal paapa ki tarah jo misri shehzaday ko apni biwwi baich daita hah aur na duubai jaha aapkay papa ka friend aapki mama k saath suihag rat mana rahay hain… :)

              • Your mama must be so proud of you along with your papa IK. Your words are your true character. May Allah guide you in the right path.

                • well papa wali bakwas aapne shuru ki hah, eint k badlay pathar khana seekho aise forann bheek na mangna shuru kar diya karo allah ka naam lay k…

          • The issue isn’t about legally or illegally bought watch, I wish if you had completed school. Issue is that these gifts were very much undervalued, procedure of appraisal wasn’t followed, were sold to 3rd parties and not retained, earning from these gifts wasn’t declared in income tax returns. Last but not least, if a person of such a moral standing becomes Premier again it will be a dilemma and therefore must be stopped. Facts must be brought forward for public.

          • YOU are a illiterate “son of a donkey” YOU are the IMRAN and a donkey! The thief, escaping to London with stolen funds!

  • Don’t know who give them such suggestions. These so called politicians have so much narrow mind that they are unable to think outside of existing cities especially Lahore. Why they don’t think of creating industrial zone in Bochistan where we have infertile land and solar energy potential? They only think of vote bank even with empty pockets.

  • Khuda k leye Pakistan k awam ko orang line metro is sub k zarorat nhi hy basic need due to increasing population create jobs to build up industries hospital school is taraf kun koi nhi araha kitne log without jobs hn have degree or ye log road buss orang line bana kr hume uper phr inko chalnay k tax b dal dety in logo ne apni pocket se paisay nhi lagane awam k tax blood se deygy paisay se ye sub bani hn logggg bhoky mar rahy hn without jobs or ye aesee project kr sub k sub apni siasat chamka rahyy hn bataen log kitne hospital banae kitne school banae kitni industriss bani k hum log or hamara Pakistan khud mukhtar hogea ho soo opesed like these project jo sirf or sirf awam pr booojjjj hy
