Sector D-12 development work lingers on

Wednesday, July 11, 2012 - Islamabad—The development work at sector D-12 of the federal capital has been lingering on due to lack of interest of the concerned officials and Capital Development Authority (CDA) despite passage of seven years.

The sector was launched 22 years ago and development work was started in 2005.

Moreover, the contract of the development work was given to a contractor at Rs520 million and it was to be completed in two years but despite passage of seven years development could not be completed so far.

Sources said that due to the delay in development work estimated cost has increased to Rs860 million instead of Rs520 million.

The affectees have stopped spreading of services in Sector D-12/4, 1,2 on Service Road West because CDA did not have possession of land sources added.

It was learnt that 90 percent construction work on roads, 30 percent on water supply, 40 percent on sewerage and drainage has been completed.—INP
