Lahore: The Chief Executive Officer of the Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA), Imran Amin, announced that the primary goal of the river training works is to rejuvenate the River Ravi. He stated that within a few years, the Ravi will once again flow as a perennial river, with its creek holding 59 billion liters of water, supported by the construction of its first barrage.
During his visit to the river training site, where ongoing works are focused on controlling and mitigating hydrological stress and flood risks, Imran Amin focussed on the long-term impact of these efforts. The river training works involve various structures designed to stabilize the river channel. The purpose is to ensure a specific alignment and cross-section.
The RUDA CEO was briefed on the progress of the river training project, learning that 3 kilometers of the first phase have already been completed. The work on packages 1, 1A, 2, and 2B is advancing rapidly. Imran Amin also inaugurated the construction work for package 6, which will connect the completed earthworks to the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway (LSM).
Following his visit to the river site, Imran Amin inspected the Mehmood Booti dump site, where engineers have transformed the area into a modern urban jungle and park. Moreover, a solar power system has been installed, generating 5 megawatts of electricity. He noted that these developments will enhance the beauty of the city.
The RUDA CEO also visited the Chahar Bagh residential project, where he received an update on the progress of the development work. He instructed the RUDA officials to expedite the infrastructure work and finalize the feasibility study for a flyover that will link Chahar Bagh to the Lahore Ring Road.
