The sources said that the development of sub-sector G-14/4 had been completed, while 90 per cent rehabilitation work had been completed and infrastructure development work of sub-sectors G-14/2, 3 was in progress.

They said that overall 70 per cent of infrastructure development was completed and the remaining work would be completed once the issue of built-up properties (BUPs) was resolved for which the FGEHA was striving hard.

The consultant was hired for sub-sector G-14/1 where the topographic survey had been completed. The award of BUPs in sub-sectors G-14/1, 2 was yet to be made for which survey of the BUPs was underway.
