The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday issued a contempt notice to Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, over the provincial govt’s failure to approve the design of development work, for the Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) project.
A three-judge Supreme Court bench comprising the Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed, Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Muneeb Akhtar had taken up a suo motu case relating to the colossal losses incurred by the Pakistan Railways (PR).
During the hearing on Thursday, the chief justice remarked that work on the KCR project was supposed to be wrapped up within two months. “Just the overhead bridge and some other work remains [to be completed],” he observed. “Why has the FWO [Frontier Works Organisation] not begun its work?”
