Pakistan delegation to visit Sabarmati River project

  • 5 years ago
A four-member delegation from Pakistan today visited the Sabarmati Riverfront (SR) project, to replicate it in Lahore on river Ravi. The visit is touted to be on the behest of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, after he learnt about the major development initiative undertaken by his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat.

"We have come here to study the good practices followed in the project, as the conditions here and in Lahore are almost similar," Lahore Commissioner Rashid Mehmood Langrial, who heads the delegation, told reporters after his visit to the riverfront in Paldi area here.

"We have been studying riverfront development projects in different parts as we found that conditions here and back in our country were similar, so we came here to study the project. River Ravi is also not a perennial river (like Sabarmati). Developing such a riverfront here is a good gift given to the city of Ahmedabad by the AMC (Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation)," he told reporters.
