Detail of Development Projects
According to budget documents, Rs.10.8 Billion is particularly reserved for developments of sectors in Islamabad. Syed Safdar Ali, CDA’s spokesman, said those projects would be given priority whose PC-I & PC-II are already approved by CDA-DWP.
For sector I-15 and I-14, Rs.1 Billion and Rs.500 Million is earmarked respectively for development work. In order to facilitate land acquisition sufferers, Rs.2 Billion is reserved. In addition, built-up property claims & land acquisition for property would also be done from this reserved amount.
Furthermore, Rs.797.19 million held in reserve for projects of Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP). Previously, CDA requested for Rs.10 Billion for expansion of Islamabad Expressway. But in financial budget, only Rs.425 million has been given by Federal Government. So CDA decided to build underpass & bridge as an alternative.
