Rawalpindi: The Punjab government on Saturday (November 06) formed a price evaluation committee to begin work on the land acquisition process for the revised route of the Rawalpindi Ring Road (RRR) project, news sources reported. The committee, led by Deputy Commissioner (DC) Rawalpindi division Muhammad Ali, will assess land’s market worth after visiting the specified sites.
The committee members include officials from various departments. These officials will visit the assigned site to gather information regarding market price of the property that the government intends to purchase for the road project. Additionally, to prevent land selling, section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 will be imposed. Furthermore, it was learned that the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has agreed to videotape the committee’s proceedings in order to make the process more transparent. On orders of Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Sardar Usman Buzdar, the 38.3-kilometre-long ring road project is already part of the Annual development programme at PKR 6.7 billion.
Simultaneously, the RDA has started working on the Project Concept-1 (PC-1) of the RRR project that will be presented to the provincial government for final approval. As per the new PC-1, the previously proposed Special Economic Zone (SEZ) alongside the road infrastructure has been dropped.
