Work on Red Line to start in July, says CS Karachi April 1, 2021 The Sindh government announced on Wednesday that it will commence work on the proposed Red Line section of the bus rapid transit service (BRTS) in Karachi in July this year. The decision to this effect was reached at a meeting held at the Sindh Secretariat chaired by Sindh Chief Secretary Syed Mumtaz Ali Shah. The chief secretary also announced on the occasion that the 250 buses that would operate on the Red Line section of the BRTS would consume bio-gas as fuel to keep their operations environment friendly. The meeting was told that a bio-gas plant would be established at the Cattle Colony in the Landhi area of the city and the plant would consume 3,000 tonnes of manure every day to generate fuel for the Red Line buses. The plant would provide 11 tonnes of compressed bio-gas daily for the bus operations and the capacity of the plant would be further increased if there was more fuel demand.
