Lahore: Under Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s Lahore Development Programme, large-scale rehabilitation of neighbourhood streets, sewerage and drainage infrastructure has been carried out across the city. According to APP, 16,500 streets covering around 1,800 kilometres were paved under Phases I and II of the programme.
The programme also included 741 kilometres of new sewer lines, 12 new disposal stations, 75 pieces of urban-flood machinery and maintenance of 22,423 streetlights. Officials said the programme specifically reached neighbourhoods where development work had remained pending for years.
Earlier progress reviews also confirmed that thousands of streets in previously neglected localities were being rebuilt alongside sewerage and water-supply improvements to avoid repeated digging and improve long-term infrastructure quality.
