CDA starts work at Sector I-15

Scheme was launched nearly two decades ago particularly for low-income group

ISLAMABAD:

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is pushing for the development of long-neglected residential sectors in Islamabad.

In this regard, CDA has started development works in Sector I-15 which was launched more than 20 years ago. Contractor has been mobilised and camp office has been established for initiating development activities in the Sector I-15/3, said a statement issued by CDA on Sunday.

The survey and demarcation work has been started which will be followed by the earth work on road infrastructure and other development works. After completing survey, work on construction of major roads and service roads will be carried out in the first stance. After completing construction of roads, work on provision of other facilities including drainage, sewerage, water supply, electrification and others in sub-sector I-15/3 will be taken up. In this connection, instructions have been issued to complete the survey and demarcation work within two weeks so that construction work on roads could be started.

CDA serves notices on nine shopping centres

The sector I-15 was launched nearly two decades ago particularly to accommodate low income citizens. However, despite the allotment of plots no step regarding its development was taken since its launch.

The incumbent management of CDA in line with its policy to take up the development work in the stalled sectors and uplift of infrastructure development of the city revived the project and decided to address the problems faced by those who were allotted plots and were stuck in the Sector I-15 since long.
