In a bid to enhance urban mobility and add to the aesthetic appeal of Lahore, the Punjab government under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has greenlit the launch of a tram service in key areas of the provincial capital.
The decision was finalized during a pivotal meeting chaired by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif at the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) headquarters. The meeting, which was attended by senior officials including DG LDA Tahir Farooq, focused on revitalizing urban infrastructure and improving public transport options in Lahore.
Key decisions taken during the meeting include the approval of a comprehensive project aimed at re-modeling and beautifying MM Alam Road.
