Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has decided to shift its focus to develop the city’s previously ignored sectors, reported a news source. These include sectors I-14, I-15, and I-16.
CDA Chairman Aamer Ali Ahmed, who is also Islamabad’s Chief Commissioner, paid a visit to these sectors. CDA engineering teams, along with officials from the relevant directorates, accompanied him during the visit.
Residents of these sectors face major civic issues in the form of deteriorated roads and lack of access to basic facilities. On the delayed construction of the access route for I-16, the chairman was told that the tender for the road could not be floated due to a shortage of PKR 5 million. In response, Ahmed ordered the CDA Finance Wing to arrange the funds within one week.
Furthermore, he also instructed CDA Sanitation director to make arrangements for solid waste management in these sectors.
The chairman decided to provide basic services to the residents of Sector I-14 and I-16 under the Services Maintenance Programme. For this end, he also ordered the staff concerned to complete survey and planning proceedings within one month.
The CDA premier was also informed that despite a feasibility study and cost estimations, funds for developing sector I-15 still remained unissued. To this, Ahmed ordered for the matter to be resolved within three weeks’ timeframe.
The chairman opined that developing the ignored CDA sectors on priority will enable the agency to generate more funds.
