Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has directed the timely completion of development projects in Karachi.

Reviewing ongoing development schemes launched under Karachi Package, he said that the construction of Gulbai Road will not only resolve the traffic congestion issues in the locality but it would promote tourism and recreational activities along the sea shore.

He said that development of the city must be tourism-oriented so that tourists could be attracted by developing roads leading towards seashore such as Sandspit, Manora, Kiamari and other historical places.

He was told that reconstruction of 5 km dual carriageway from Gulbai to Y-junction is being constructed at Rs.1.01 billion and it will be completed within six months.

The chief minister directed the local government department to construct a storm water drain on both sides of the road.

The chief minister issued directives for removal of the encroachments.
