Master plan commission reviews progress

ISLAMABAD: Meeting of the Federal Commission constituted for the revision of master plan of Islamabad was held at CDA Headquarters.

The commission headed by Capital Development Authority (CDA) Chairman reviewed its progress in accordance with the assigned TORs.

The commission is now in its final stages and firming up its findings on certain key matters. These issues revolve around general policies and guidelines for CDA as well as framework for future development in Islamabad. The commission has had several sessions and proceeded with extreme caution so as to incorporate the international best practices in its observations. The interactive sessions with the public have yielded considerable input to the commission, alongwith comments revived through use of social media tools. Reportedly more than 4,000 suggestions have been received so far.

The commission is finalising a preliminary draft report as well as guidelines. It is likely that within the stipulated timeline the commission will present its report containing commentary on TORs set by the cabinet.
