The citizens will get comfortable and low-cost travel facilities under this flagship project, which will help reduce air pollution, the minister added.

The project will also include modern bus depots, charging stations, automatic fare collection and a smart monitoring system.

Sharjeel Memon said that the Karachi Port to Qayyumabad elevated expressway project has been approved, which will provide a dedicated route for heavy vehicles from the port.

This 16.5km-long freight expressway will connect the port to the Senator Taj Haider interchange, which will reduce traffic congestion and improve the port’s efficiency, he added.

The minister said that a plan to develop forests on 41,000 hectares in Jamshoro and Matiari is a big step towards environmental protection and the reduction of carbon emissions.

The Sindh government is also promoting private partnerships in the agriculture and food-processing sectors, he added.
