LAHORE: A powerful real estate group continues to obstruct the construction of Ring Road Southern Loop-III since 2016 on the pretext of stay orders, land acquisition and other issues, leaving the government indecisive on such an important matter for long.
Recently, a stay order issued earlier on the land acquisition was vacated. However, the government is yet to give the Lahore Ring Road Authority (LRRA) a go-ahead to commence construction on the project, Dawn has learnt.
“It is a matter of great importance since hundreds of thousands of motorists have been waiting for the construction of the [portion] to access the hurdle-free route. But unfortunately, the government, despite vacation of the stay order recently, still seems helpless before a powerful property tycoon.
