According to CDA officials, Sector I-14 property allotees are unable to initiate construction work on their plots due to a lack of civic facilities in the area. This issue requires immediate attention of the authorities concerned.
Moreover, CDA will reportedly carry out development work in Sector I-14 Markaz with an intention to auction some of commercial plots in the locality. The auction will help the development authority fetch more funds for carrying out development work.
