Islamabad: The capital city administration has announced its decision to name three roads after celebrated personalities as a tribute to their contributions to the nation, according to news reports on December 21.
Previously, the board of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) decided to rename the newly-constructed PWD interchange after the recently deceased nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan in its meeting held last month.
It is now revealed by sources that the same CDA board meeting also decided to revive the abandoned move to name three roads after historic figures of Josh Malihabadi, Jameeluddin Aali and Hafeez Jalandhari. To this effect, CDA will forward four names to the federal government for final approval.
As per the previous plan, announced in 2019, Service Road (South) in Sector D-12 was to be named as Jameeluddin Aali Road, Service Road (West) of Sector D-12 as Josh Malihabadi Road and Service Road (East) D-12 as Hafeez Jalandhari Road. Once approved, signboards with the new names of the roads will be installed on the sites.
