Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has awarded a contract of PKR 542 billion for development work for the much-delayed Sector I-12, news sources reported on April 24.
The scope of development work includes the construction of streets, a drainage system and the sewerage network on I-12/2 and I-12/3. The official also stated that the authority has completed the survey for the development work in the project’s last two subsectors. Moreover, when providing the details of the work, CDA officials elaborated on the causes of the development’s delay.
According to CDA resources, Sector I-12 was formerly used as a dumping site for the capital city, which caused a significant delay in work. The start of the development work will benefit a total of 6,000 plot owners. As per the CDA:
In 2015, CDA awarded a contract of PKR 248.4 million for the construction of roads in the sector that remained incomplete. Later in 2020, CDA approved PC-1 worth PKR 8.21 billion for the development of the sector, including complete infrastructure development, electrical and mechanical works and provision of amenities and other services. The project is expected to complete in 2023. It is worth noting that the CDA has been using the I-12 sector as a solid waste disposal facility. However, it has lately decided to use Sector H-16 for this purpose.
