Honestly speaking commutation is always major issue with big developed cities all over world. But priorities need to be discussed with appropriate persons across the board. At peak hours at Doctor Hospital it take at least 15-20 minutes to cross signal to reach canal to move around. However more important thing I still feel is public services e.g. health, water, security & eductaion not for lahore put for whole country.

Also we have seen such technological advancement where big trees can be uprooted & then crafted to nearby places. So such technological facilities should be imported & can be used at lahore for canal road widening, islamabad pishawer Moor extension etc.

لندن سٹی کو ہم جدید دیہات کہہ سکتے ہیں_ لاہور کو نام نہاد ترقی کے نام پر اس کی تمام تاریخی اہمیت سے محروم کیا جا رہا ہے_ لاہور اور پشاور میں زیادہ فاصلہ نہیں ہے اگر آپ کے پی میں درخت لگاتے رہیں گے اور یہ لوگ پنجاب میں درخت کاٹتے رہیں گے تو آپ کی ساری محنت کا کوئی فائدہ نہیں_ آب و ہوا میں کوئی سرحد نہیں ہوا کرتی_

They can extract them and replant them elsewhere as I understand widening is essential. Lekin is kaam mein corruption ka ziyada chance nahi ho ga, is liye. Agar hota to Showbaz Sharif kal khud press bula ke yeh Trees replant ker raha hota
