The district administration has allocated over Rs200 million for carrying out basis infrastructure projects at every union council (UC) of Rawalpindi. A source said the local leadership of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has asked civic authorities to get the work done within one month as political parties gear up for local government elections.
The LG polls have been scheduled for September 20, however, the Election Commission of Pakistan has hinted a delay in holding the polls in the wake of recent floods in Punjab and Sindh.
“The development projects including water and road repair schemes have been launched in every UC and funds worth millions of rupees are being released in this regard,” the source said.
