FAISALABAD – The city’s road infrastructure is being rapidly upgraded under the ongoing ‘Sarakain Bahal – Safar Asaan’ program, as repair and restoration work gains momentum along Sheikhupura Road up to Nishatabad Bridge.
Divisional Commissioner and Administrator Municipal Corporation Faisalabad, Raja Jahangir Anwar, said the government is utilizing all available resources to improve road conditions and provide residents with safer, smoother, and more convenient travel options. He emphasized that the initiative reflects the Punjab government’s commitment to enhancing urban mobility and public convenience across the province.
Alongside road repairs, anti-encroachment operations are underway throughout the city, including Faisalabad’s eight main bazaars, to reclaim public spaces and ensure unobstructed pedestrian and traffic movement. Authorities are also restoring traffic signals, illuminating streetlights, and completing asphalt work on link roads and inner streets to improve citywide connectivity.
Raja Jahangir Anwar noted that municipal services will continue uninterrupted during the development work and reaffirmed that the improvement drive will persist until Faisalabad’s infrastructure aligns with the standards envisioned by the Chief Minister of Punjab.
The “Sarakain Bahal – Safar Asaan” program is part of the Punjab government’s broader effort to modernize urban infrastructure, promote civic development, and facilitate efficient, safe travel for citizens across major cities.
