Besides, the development work of other roads under the project should be completed as early as possible, he added.
He also said the work of this project should be carried out at a fast pace for the convenience of the movement of the people of the new areas.
"I urged the people of that area to cooperate in the implementation of the project. Those who have illegal structures within the road boundaries, remove those on your own. We will not issue any notice from the city corporation. If the owners do not remove the structures, the city corporation will use bulldozers to evict the illegal structures," he added.
