The shiftees of Lyari Expressway project have started arriving at the site of their new abode, the Taisar Town, under the second phase of their rehabilitation being carried out under Lyari Expressway Resettlement project.
In order to provide transport facilities to the shiftees at the new site, the Project Director, Shafiqur Rehman Paracha, on Saturday held a meeting with transporters.
The meeting was attended by President Karachi Transport Ittehad, Irshad Hussain Bukhari and General Secretary Khalid Hussain Awan besides the project officials.
The leaders of Transport Ittehad assured of their all possible co-operation for providing transport facilities to Taisar Town shiftees.
The meeting was informed that at Hawksbay resettlement site, buses of various routes are available. These include Shiraz Coach and buses of route 1-C.
