Mr. Imtiaz said that till date, 85% of the project has been completed, and works like fixture of three spines and construction of approach roads were pending. R&B superintendent engineer and project in-charge G. John Moshae and others were present.

Meanwhile, Mr. Imtiaz asked officials of the Revenue Department to finalise proposals within two days for land acquisition for completion of the Gunadala flyover.
