Lahore: The Central Business District Punjab (CBD Punjab) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Imran Amin has emphasised the urgent need to expedite the completion of Walton Road and Major Ishaq Shaheed Flyover, as reported on July 22.
According to the details, acting on directives from Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, Amin instructed an increase in workforce and machinery to ensure timely delivery.
