In a continued effort to enhance urban development projects, the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has successfully transformed Shahrah Nazaria-e-Pakistan, into a signal-free corridor. During the inauguration ceremony, CM Naqvi offered prayers, marking the official unveiling of the upgraded corridor.
Chief Engineer Israr Saeed provided detailed insights into the project, emphasizing that Shahrah Nazaria-e-Pakistan is transformed into a signal-free corridor through the construction of seven strategically placed U-turns.
