ISLAMABAD: Capital Development Authority (CDA) Chairman Tahir Shahbaz on Tuesday announced that a special fund of Rs6 million had been allocated to the civic agency’s Water Management Wing for the repair of off-road water tankers and procurement of new tyres in order to resolve the capital’s water shortage issue.
