KARACHI: Federal Government Spokesperson for Sindh, Raja Khaliq Ansari, has announced that work on the Green Line project will resume soon, calling it “good news for the public.”
Speaking to a TV channel, Ansari said that all matters related to the Green Line were discussed in a meeting held at the Prime Minister’s House. He added that the incomplete tasks identified by the local government will be completed shortly.
He explained that the project faced a one-month delay and is now expected to be completed by September 2026. A new station will be built near Capri Cinema, Plaza, and Jama Cloth, where the Green Line will also end.
Responding to concerns about the project’s NOC, Ansari clarified that the NOC was issued in 2017 and had no expiry date. “At that time, the current mayor was not in office, so we believed the same NOC remained valid,” he said.
