Rawalpindi: The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has asked the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Base Commander to issue a no-objection certificate (NOC) for the construction of pedestrian bridges on Airport Road – a news source reported.
The nearest police station has already issued the NOC regarding its security.
The Punjab government has already earmarked PKR 110 million in the budget for fiscal year 2019-20, for the construction of these walkways. These bridges will be installed near Gulzar-e-Quaid, Shah Khalid Colony, and Noor Khan Airbase along the Airport Road.
The 7.8 kilometre road does not have a proper crossing, which has been a cause of accidents for locals trying to get across by jumping the dividing fence. So the construction of these walkways has been a long-standing demand of the locals of the area.
