Rawalpindi: The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has decided to construct three commercial buildings after Eid-ul-Fitr in a bid to generate additional revenue, a news source reported.
The civic agency will construct the three buildings on its land situated at Liaquat Bagh, in Sherpao Colony, and on Saidpur Road. The project will be completed on a public-private partnership basis.
As per reports, RDA is currently utilising the office space for its use in the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) building as it cannot construct a building for its own use at present.
Previously, the authority had decided to utilise 10 kanals in Civil Lines for commercial purposes. However, it was unable to procure the land on legal grounds.
RDA Chairman Arif Abbasi said that the civic agency wants to improve its income by making commercial assets. He added that RDA would begin construction work on the proposed commercial centres after getting approval from its governing body.
