He expressed these views in a joint meeting of utility services providers and KMC officers held in the committee room of Civic Centre, said a statement on Thursday.
The meeting was attended by the representative of K-Electric, Sui Southern Gas Company, Karachi Water and Sewerage Board and PTCL along with the Director General Technical Services KMC Niaz Ahmed Soomro, Senior Director Transport Muhammad Ather and other officers.
During the meeting plan for finalization of survey of utility services coming in the way of Blue Line project and their shifting was reviewed in detail.
It was informed that the survey of utility services was completed in accordance with the documents provided by the project consultant and now there would be no barrier once the work on this project started.
