PPP chairman officially inaugurated Shahrah-e-Bhutto and laid foundation stone for upcoming expressway extension connecting Qayyumabad to Karachi Port, signaling the start of a broader expansion plan aimed at reshaping Karachi’s road network.
The event witnessed participation from key non-political stakeholders, including renowned business tycoon Arif Habib, Inspector General of Sindh Police Javed Alam Odho, and Additional IG Karachi Azad Khan, underscoring the significance of the project beyond political circles.
Speaker of Sindh Assembly Syed Owais Qadir Shah, Provincial Ministers Syed Zulfikar Ali Shah, Shahina Sher Ali, Jam Khan Shoro, along with advisors, special assistants, members of the National and Provincial Assemblies, senior PPP leadership, and a massive gathering of party workers also attended the high-profile ceremony, turning the occasion into a large-scale public and political demonstration of support.
Shahrah-e-Bhutto project, developed under a public-private partnership model, is 39-kilometer-long signal-free expressway stretching from Qayyumabad to the M-9 Motorway. Designed to ease Karachi’s chronic traffic congestion, the mega-road infrastructure includes six major interchanges, marking it as one of the most significant urban transport upgrades in recent years.
