KARACH:

Minister for Transport and Mass Transit Sharjeel Inam Memon affirmed government's commitment to revitalise public  transport sector of Sindh, particularly, Karachi, to better serve general public on Sunday.


Speaking to media during his visit to the BRT Red Line site, Memon assured that Sindh government had resumed work on Red Line project and vowed to leave no stone unturned in ensuring its completion. He attributed project's delay to necessary relocation of utility services but emphasized that provincial government would ensure no further delays in its execution.

Highlighting government's dedication to addressing public issues, Memon reiterated that resolving problems faced by people remained a top priority for the present government.

In response to inquiries, Memon acknowledged the cost implications of infrastructure development for buses, surpassing those of the buses themselves. He expressed regret for any inconveniences experienced by university students due to project's execution. 

Asserting Pakistan Peoples Party's (PPP) commitment to action over mere rhetoric, Memon acknowledged challenges encountered in the operation of People's Bus Service, notably due to electricity load shedding by KE. He disclosed that efforts were underway to address these issues with power entity.

Responding to queries regarding PPP's role in federal government, Memon emphasized party's willingness to collaborate with any entity, whether in government or opposition, prioritising nation's betterment and development.
