Islamabad: Capital Development Authority (CDA) Chairman Captain (retired) Muhammad Usman Younis has directed that all government offices and streetlights in the city be converted to green energy, news sources reported on November 9.
In this respect, the authority will hire a consultant to locate and choose suitable areas for the installation of clean and green energy equipment, following which, a financial feasibility assessment will be issued. The authority chairman also directed the relevant departments to develop a Project Concept-II (PC-II) as soon as possible and present it for approval at the next meeting. He went on to say that the clean and green energy projects are the country’s most pressing requirement at the moment and that the CDA would modernise itself and do all that is possible to convert all street lights and CDA offices to this initiative.
Separately, CDA Chairman Younas issued instructions for a massive anti-encroachment operation in the city to reclaim state land. In this regard, CDA teams and police officers began operations in Mouza Kuri Dhok Balag, an Islamabad neighbourhood where the land mafia was attempting to illegally occupy government land. The operation resulted in the CDA reclaiming 60 kanals of land by demolishing the four walls built on CDA land.
