ISLAMABAD:
As many as 83 elevators and escalators along with 48 generators for metro bus stations will arrive from China next week, said a senior Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) official. “A total of 24 bus stations are being set up in the twin cities and each one will have 18 platform doors, three elevators and escalators,” said Rawalpindi Commissioner Zahid Saeed, who is also the metro bus project director. Around 432 electronic platform doors have already been imported, while elevators, escalators and generators will arrive on December 30, Saeed said. “The equipment will cost around Rs3 billion,” he said. The contractors, he said, have already been asked to accelerate the import of glass sheets and other material for setting up the stations.
