Sindh Governor Syed Muhammad Nihal Hashmi announced on Saturday that the Green Line Bus Rapid Transit extension in Karachi will be completed during the current fiscal year.
Construction progress and funding status

He noted that Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif continues to support development efforts for the city despite constitutional constraints following the 18th Amendment.
