Rawalpindi: Secretary Housing Punjab Nadeem Mehboob recently revealed Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) Director General Ammara Khan’s recommendation to the Punjab government to transfer the funds reserved for the Ammar Shaheed Chowk over to the Chaklala Cantonment Board — a news source reported.
Funds of PKR 788 million have been allocated for the all-important Ammar Shaheed Chowk located in the Chaklala Cantonment area. After the funds have been transferred, the project will be launched under the supervision of the Chaklala Board.
