An irked chief executive of the province promised action against those responsible for yet another gaffe. Time is now PTI to get the job done, PTI was trying to derail Metro project in punjab and then got the idea that it was a need of times. I demand immediate action as a tax paying citizen. The highlight of the meeting, however, was when the PDA director general ruled out any chances of BRT operations in totality till June 2019; only the Chamkani Bus Station was projected to be operational by March 23, 2019.

Why India is marching ahead and China cannot be caught, is in India there are 33 metro rail projects currently going on in diff cities, in Mumbai alone 8 of them and rarely they miss deadline by year or two. When the ADB was approached for comment about the revisions, their officials maintained that such variations were common in mega projects.
