KARACHI: Urging the Sindh government to reconsider the Bundal island project, Prime Minister Imran Khan called for renewed coordination between federal and provincial governments for the successful accomplishment of the game-changer projects. With an investment of about $50 billion, the government aims to develop a city that will “surpass Dubai” and create 150,000 jobs, Sindh Governor Imran Ismail said at the time. The Karachi Circular Railway project, Imran said, would shift the burden off Karachi’s roads and onto the railway. Federal ministers Asad Umar, Azam Swati, Fawad Chaudhry and Ali Haider Zaidi, Sindh Governor Imran Ismail and Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah attended the ceremony. The prime minister said the metropolitan cities were engines of growth for any country, citing the example of London, New York and Karachi.
