Sindh Orders Immediate Removal of Utility Hurdles to Speed Yellow Line BRT

The directive aims to keep Karachi’s major mass-transit project on schedule by forcing faster utility relocation and tighter inter‑agency coordination.

Overview

  • Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon chaired a Transport Department meeting on Wednesday that instructed all relevant agencies to prioritise and complete utility shifting and relocation without delay.
  • Officials at the meeting, which included Transport Secretary Asad Zamin and Project Director Kamal Dayo, reported construction is progressing as planned and called for acceleration across every corridor segment.
  • Memon ordered the second portion of the Taj Haider Bridge to be finished urgently to ease commuter disruption and told authorities to clear any bottlenecks that slow work.
  • The government set depot completion as a target for the first quarter of next year and demanded faster decision‑making and regular coordination between departments to avoid schedule slippage.
  • The Yellow Line BRT is presented by Sindh officials as a key public-welfare transit project for Karachi and the ministerial push signals closer administrative oversight that could determine whether the project meets its timetable.
