KARACHI (HRNW) The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) opposed opening the Lyari Expressway for cargo traffic round the clock, media reported.
In a statement issued here, MQM-P leader Syed Mustafa Kamal said that the Lyari Expressway was designed for light traffic, adding that allowing heavy traffic will cause damage to the road and inconvenience citizens.
The MQM-P MNA said that Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif had been wrongly briefed in this regard. Syed Mustafa Kamal suggested that the Northern Bypass should be used for heavy traffic instead of the Lyari Expressway.
The MQM-P leader demanded that the prime minister take immediate notice in this regard and halt heavy traffic on the Lyari Expressway.
