Dear CM Punjab
Please consider Bedian Road Lahore expansion to 6 lane project on priority.
Very nice roads net work is developed. Please also focus on:
1- Conservation of water
2- Millions of Children not going to school
3- Reduction in unemployment
4- Save general public from incurring huge amount of expenditure from so called MBA universities, medical colleges, law colleges.
5- Eradicate human smuggling and save people lives and money by creating awareness not to go to foreign countries by illegal means
6- Establish vocational training institutes to impart training to youth to go to foreign countries where ageing population is problem. Make arrangements to send skilled youth there by legitimate means.
7- Make new medical colleges in govt sector.
8- Improve education standards in universities and give directions to them to impart training to meet meet modern challenges.
9- Make institute/ centre where think tanks can discuss future strategy of province how to tap the future potential of youth.
Roads that will survive only for one year or less because of dishonesty and corruption involved in their construction.
Kot Momin interchange to Bhagtanawala Sargodha need a durable and two way road to safe the time and money.
یہ ہوتا ہے جب ہم پر ٹھیکے دار مسلط کر دیے جائیں۔ ان کی اسکول بند کر کے صرف سڑکیں بنانے پہ توجہ ہے
Commission ka chkr ha bhai
Kindly consider revamping Jhang to Shorkot road, it’s in very bad condition.
کس کو اپنے قیمتی مشورے دے رہے ہو کوئی نہیں سنتا
Sir what about jandiala road sheikhupura,a 2.5 miles (approx) patch has snatched the peace of not only the natives but people who choose to use this road.
It’s condition is too deteriorated to explain. hundreds of vehicles have stuck down here facing a millions of loss .now schools are go open and I don’t think so that their access is sure to the school via this road…
Urban infrastructural uplift is welcome but even process of econo-development justifies equal material attention and importance on development in rural zones with massive spread of roads, tech education. Rural manpower development adds to the ultimate strength of the defense muscle of the country.
Jaisa ke Chunian se Hujra shah mukeem road start howa tha us me bi caraption ki gi hai or road contractions incomplete hi closed ho gi. Jo ke 25 years ke bad start howe thi
Bhatta chowk airport road needs desperate help.
