Lahore: DHA residents still waiting for Bhatta Chowk flyover
By Afnan Khan
LAHORE: Residents of the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) are still waiting for the construction of a flyover across Bhatta Chowk to allow for easier access to the airport, Daily Times has learnt.

The project was proposed about five years ago, but was not implemented because of conflicts regarding the expenditure, while residents continue to suffer due to massive rush and damaged roads.

DHA Residents Association (RA) President Muhammad Sadiq told Daily Times that the flyover was one of the priorities of the newly elected body, adding that residents had complained of delays in catching flights and seeing off or receiving relatives from the airport.

Former information secretary of the RA Azam Nasir said the residents had been pursuing the development of the flyover at Bhatta Chowk for five years. He said the DHA administration had also shown interest in the project, but no action had been taken.

A DHA resident, Khurram Haroon, said the development of the flyover had remained one of the major demands of residents. He said the government should maintain signboards, adding that most major boards were positioned behind electricity poles or the paint on them had faded.

DHA Lahore Spokesman Tajamul Hussain Anjum told Daily Times that the project was still being worked on and the administration would release its details very soon. He said the DHA always took special care to facilitate the residents in terms of cleanliness and infrastructure, adding that he would ask the department concerned to check current status of the signboards at the square.
