The Punjab government, in collaboration with Pakistan Railways, has launched the Green Corridor Project aimed at establishing green belts along a 40-kilometer stretch of railway track between Shahdara and Raiwind, Lahore, covering 700 kanals of adjacent land.
Valued at over Rs2.25 billion, the project is scheduled for completion within one year. Its primary goals are to reduce environmental pollution and improve urban aesthetics through sustainable development.
As part of the initiative, old railway carriages will be converted into libraries and cafes, bringing cultural and recreational benefits to the corridor.
The project has been divided into four development packages: Shahdara to Railway Station, Walton, Walton to Kot Lakhpat, and Raiwind.
The Housing Department of Punjab has submitted the PC-1 for the project to the Planning and Development Department for formal approval. Federal Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi expressed his gratitude to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz for her support and cooperation in advancing the project.
The prime responsibility of the central as well provincial governments is to ensure enhancement in literacy level, development of suburbs, free education, real free health facilities, improvement in exports, broadening the scope of tax regime instead of burdening the same salaried class and making masses poor through indirect taxes etc. Roads development, building entertainment parks, beautification of cities is waste of tax money of poor people of Pakistan.
Zahid W. Khan brother i completely agree and suport your excellent complete answer for the **Destrution’ Loot And Plunder by Corruption of these Political And Civil Servants of the Valuable Financial Development Funds which should be Used For Education of Science Technology and Health Services**
Education is being out of reach for a common man. Government’s focus must be on free education and free health but they are spending on useless things.
