The Punjab government decided to build a city like Dubai near Lahore. The state-of-the-art city will cover an area of 100,000 acres. In this regard, a statement issued by Punjab Chief Minister Usman Bazdar said, “The government has given the green signal to the River Ravi Front Authority to build this state-of-the-art city. The city will be built north of Lahore.
"The Punjab government will issue an ordinance to build this city," the social networking site Twitter said in an account called Developing Pakistan. For this purpose, an authority headed by the Punjab Chief Minister will be constituted to oversee the project. A statement issued by the Punjab government further said that Rs 5 trillion would be invested in the project by the private sector. Completion of this project will greatly reduce the burden on Lahore and will get rid of traffic, water and other such problems in Lahore. A huge lake will also be built in this new city.
