The PM Imran Khan hailed the downtown Project in Lahore, saying that these will generate wealth within the billions for Pakistan.
He said that it had been time to prevent Lahore from expanding horizontally, recalling that when he was a toddler , the town ended at Zaman Park.

The PM Imran Khan said that not one tree would be move move for the project. "And albeit a tree is brought down, we've equipment to relocate it to a different place," he added.
