The caretaker Punjab government has decided to proceed with the expansion of the Wagah Border Parade Ground, with the objective of making it larger than that of India.
During a meeting on Monday, the National Engineering Services Pakistan (NESPAK) and Infrastructure Development Authority, Punjab (IDAP), presented the second design for the expansion project of the Wagah Border Parade Ground to the caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi.
Naqvi was informed that the completion of the project according to the second design would require a budget exceeding Rs2 billion. The meeting gave approval to proposed plan for the expansion of the parade ground, which would increase its capacity from 6,500 to 20,000 people.
The decision to expand the ground was made due to the declining capacity to host spectators. Furthermore, in order to ensure clear visibility for spectators watching the parade, the caretaker government has decided to install large LCDs.
What a waste of resources. Go build some schools or colleges and hospitals
waste of money ? look like we have alot of money for this but not basic needs and no one is gonna home to watch this shitty prade now only if invited by Mr PM Imran Khan
Funds for this project should be provided by the army. Considering that the income generated from it will directly go to their own accounts.
