Sharjeel blames centre for delay in completion of uplift projects in Sindh

Sharjeel Inam Memon said that payment was made five years ago to remove poles from the road in Sukkur, but the poles have not been removed till date. HESCO, SEPCO, K-Electric, Sui Southern Gas and other related utility companies will have to fulfill their responsibilities.

He said that the Sindh government is spending a huge amount of money on development projects, however, delays in transferring installations by utility companies are hindering the completion of the projects. Sharjeel Memon said that electricity poles on the roads are obstructing traffic flow and causing accidents, while other utility installations are also affecting the construction and expansion of roads.

The provincial minister said that the failure to transfer poles and other installations despite payment of compensation is beyond comprehension, and the relevant institutions should make immediate progress in this matter., one of the main reasons for the delay in the Red Line project has been the delay in moving utility installations and poles to alternative locations.

The relocation of electricity, gas and other utility installations that hinder development projects is the responsibility of the relevant institutions. He further said that the Sindh government is taking all necessary steps to complete the projects of public interest, federal utility agencies should also play their role so that there is no hindrance in the development works of the province.

The agencies concerened should immediately complete the transfer of poles and other utility installations installed on the roads.
