RUDA CEO visits river training site

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ravi Urban Development Authority, Imran Amin, visited the river training site on Friday and reviewed the ongoing construction work at the embankments, meandering the River Ravi.

The river training began earlier this year in the first developmental phase of RUDA, which has its own master plan.

In the light of RUDA’s master plan, work has already started, albeit with different orientations of planning and execution.

Earlier, the CEO also visited the upcoming flagship residential project, Chaharbagh, where he was briefed by Brig (Retd.) Waheed, executive director of RUDA, about the developmental work completed so far.

Imran Amin instructed the resident engineer on site to speed up the communication infrastructure, linking up with trunk and also feasibility finalization of a flyover, linking Chaharbagh with the Ring Road.

The Director of Urban Planning, Zahid Hussain, gave an overview of the work initiated as per RUDA’s approved master plan and termed it the best urban design concept for future with all sinews of modernity, deep ecology, river and aquifer rejuvenation.

The CEO expressed his satisfaction on progress made so far and reiterated that RUDA, despite being a new authority, was fully equipped with both the wherewithal and the will to revolutionise the concept of a modern city on one hand and revival of Lahore on the other.
