Addressing environmental concerns, he urged people to stay indoors to reduce smog and minimize unnecessary outings, noting a recent reduction in smog levels over the last three days due to decreased traffic.

Acknowledging the challenges posed by the road closure during construction, Naqvi emphasized the importance of the Cavalry underpass project. The event saw the attendance of provincial ministers, including Amir Mir, Azfar Ali Nasir, Ibrahim Hassan Murad, and Mansoor Qadir, along with Chief Secretary, Secretary Information, Secretary Housing, Commissioner Lahore, Deputy Commissioner Lahore, and other officials.

During the visit, he sought an explanation for the delay, questioning why the work had not been completed by the stipulated deadline of November 25.
