Karachi Commissioner Syed Hassan Naqvi on Monday inspected the ongoing work on the Green Line BRT Phase-II project under construction from Numaish to Municipal Park, Jaama Cloth Market on MA Jinnah Road.
He reviewed the pace of work, arrangements for alternative routes, repair and replacement of utility lines, and issues of traffic congestion.
