Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority has decided to start work in Sector E-12 after more than three decades, a news source reported. The first phase of the development is expected to cost about PKR 6 billion and will commence within this week, to be completed in three years.
Previously, work in the sector had stalled owing to issues with possession. People affected by the construction refused to vacate their land, as a deal to get them property in I-12 could not materialize. Since the PC-1 of these stalled projects has been approved, the decision was made to start development in sector E-12, as it has been subject to the longest delays in work of all other such incomplete projects.
Chairman CDA Amer Ali Ahmed said that about 4,000 housing units would be developed in E-12. He added that there is potential to develop over 3,000 more plots, thus increasing the capacity to generate profits.
The CDA awarded the contract for a service road back in September for PKR 97.107 million. The authority ordered the contractors to begin development by the beginning of this week. The chairman said that development on other stalled sectors is also in the pipeline, and will begin as soon as possible.
