Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz chaired a high-level review meeting to assess progress on the Nawaz Sharif IT City, Central Business District (CBD), and Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA) projects.
Officials briefed the chief minister that Imperial College London will establish its first local campus at the Nawaz Sharif IT City, with a groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for November this year. The campus will also include a state-of-the-art 300-bed teaching hospital.
Maryam Nawaz directed that the primary river bund under the Ravi development plan be completed before the next flood season to mitigate potential disaster risk. She further instructed authorities to expedite all future projects and submit quarterly progress reports.
