Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) has refused to shift water supply and sewerage lines along the under-construction Pirwadhai Mor Flyover, unless compensated for services. Commissioner Imadadullah asked RCB to shift services along the flyover so that the construction company NLC could start construction on Peshawar Road.
However, RCB demanded Rs25 million from the provincial government as charges for shifting the utility services like water and sewerage lines. It also claimed that the main water supply line coming from Khanpur Dam was constructed last year and it is difficult to shift it.
Pirwadhai Mor Underpass and Flyover Project will be completed in in two phases which will take four months. In the first phase, the flyover will be constructed on Peshawar Road and in the second phase, the underpass will be constructed to connect I.J. Principal Road with Peshawar Road.
According to Divisional administration, the project is started without proper planning and the shifting of service will further delay the work. The delay could be avoided, if the issues are resolved before the starting of the project. As per reports, the provincial government has already paid money for the shifting of services before the construction work began in October last year.
