Islamabad Mayor and Chairman Capital Development Authority Sheikh Anser Aziz paid on Saturday a surprise visit to Constitution Avenue which is being recarpeted. Reviewing the work, Aziz directed the concerned officers to strictly ensure quality of work and complete carpeting of the 10 kilometer (5km each side) long Constitution Avenue within the given time frame. He said funds saved from the project would be utilised to repair roads in other areas of the city. In this regard, he said that the Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation will revive the directorate for Machinery Pool Organisation (MPO) to carryout road carpeting work in the city. While briefing the mayor on the carpeting work, Director MPO said that work on Constitution Avenue started on October 6, 2016, and is expected to be completed by November 15, 2016.
