A wildlife sanctuary area has been reserved in Cholistan for the preservation and breeding of the Great Indian Bustard. This was announced by the Punjab Wildlife, Fisheries and Forests Minister Samsam Bokhar.

The wildlife sanctuary will be situated near Bijnot in Cholistan about 80 kilometers away. The Cholistan area falls in the jurisdiction of Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan districts.

The Great Indian Bustard is facing extinction. According to a handout released by the ministry, the establishment of the sanctuary in Cholistan will help increase its numbers and would also help promote the conservation of the Chinkara deer, rabbits, Bhat partridges and (Bhoora) partridge.

Speaking to Dawn, Bahawalpur Division Deputy Director Wildlife Zahid Ali Rai said that the minister’s visit to the area aimed to increase local community engagement so that locals can also participate in the conservation efforts of the wildlife department. The minister also urged residents to help stop illegal hunting.

As per reports, Mr Bokhari told locals that they will be provided jobs as an incentive to help deter poachers and apprehend those violating the law.

Around 30 men would be deployed as guards at check posts around the sanctuary.

The sanctuary will also have a drinking water facility and will have open water ponds for livestock. CCTV cameras will also be installed to monitor illegal hunting.
The Punjab wildlife secretary had already issued a notification of the allocation of 4,675km for the sanctuary.

March 17, 2022


• Organisation quoted price Rs300m less than estimated cost
• Work to start next month; land acquisition underway


RAWALPINDI: The Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) on Wednesday acquired the contract to start the much-awaited Rawalpindi Ring Road (R3) project, estimated to cost Rs22.8 billion.

On the other hand, the delegation of a Chinese company expressed its interest in the Leh Nullah Expressway and flood channel projects during its visit to the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) office on Wednesday.

RDA Chief Engineer Dr Habibul Haq Randhawa, who is deputy project director of the R3 project, told Dawn that the development authority had awarded Rs22.8bn contract of the Rawalpindi Ring Road to the FWO.

He said the FWO had quoted a price Rs300 million less than the estimated cost and emerged as the lowest bidder after the committee opened technical and financial bids in the presence of relevant officials.

He said in accordance with clause No. 26 (B) of the general directions for guidance of tenders, the FWO has been asked to furnish performance security at the rate of 5pc of the contract price which comes to Rs1.14bn in shape of cash, pay order or bank guarantee (on stamp paper) from any scheduled bank of Pakistan within 15 days from issuance of this letter in favour of the project director, Project Management Unit (PMU), Rawalpindi Ring Road.

Apart from this, sources told Dawn that the Punjab government had also released Rs4bn for the R3 project while the RDA would give Rs3.5bn to FWO – the contractor of R3 –for mobilisation of machinery.

They said the government had been asked to utilise the fund amounting to Rs4bn by June 30, 2022, adding that the RDA would give Rs500 million for initial work.

Work on the R3 project would likely start next month while land acquisition had commenced in the area. A total of 8,992 kanals would be utilised for the Ring Road from Banth to Thalian.

The Punjab government had provided Rs5.913bn for land acquisition for the 38.3km road, out of which so far, Rs2.39bn had been spent.

Rawalpindi Ring Road will have six lanes and four interchanges on Banth-Chak Beli Khan Road, Adiala Road, Chakri Road and Thalian.

The project had earlier led to a major scandal involving some PTI leaders and senior government officials.

Chinese delegation visits RDA​

A delegation led by China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) Chief Executive OfficerChang Chun visited the Rawalpindi Development Authority and held a meeting with its chairman, Tariq Mehmood Murtaza.

The delegation was willing to cooperate in mega projects like the Rawalpindi Ring Road and Leh Nullah Expressway.

Speaking on the occasion, the RDA chairman said longstanding ties between the two countries were based on solid foundation and with the passage of time, their friendship would certainly strengthen.

He said China had given relief assistance to Pakistan in different construction projects such as New Islamabad Airport, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and the Covid-19 pandemic.

The meeting was informed that concrete steps would be taken to provide modern construction facilities through public-private partnership.

Manager of Marketing Department China State Construction Engineering Corporation Wang Weiwei and retired Brig Nusratullah, former CDA member, were also present on the occasion.

The prime minister reached Rawal Dam Chowk and inspected work on the under-construction interchange which was launched in July 2020. After a briefing, it was decided that the contract would be awarded to the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) with a direction to start the construction within 72 hours.

The FWO will complete the project without demanding any escalation in the cost in the contract.

The prime minister was briefed by Capital Development Authority (CDA)’s Member Engineering Munawar Shah.

He was informed that the project was delayed as the contractor was around 14pc behind schedule, adding that the project would be handed over to the FWO in 15 days.

The prime minister directed the FWO to start the construction work within 72 hours and complete it by September. It was also decided that the FWO would complete the project at the same amount - Rs1.1 billion - on which it was awarded to the former contractor.

The project includes multiple slip roads and one underpass as well as an overhead bridge and a separate underpass connecting Margalla Town. The project was inaugurated in July 2020.

The project is being constructed at the junction of Murree Road, Club Road and Park Road.

According to CDA officials, once completed the project will provide relief to commuters as traffic congestion on this portion of Murree Road has become a routine.

During the last few years, due to increasing population in adjoining areas of Park Road, traffic congestion has become a problem.

Old villages such as Lakhwal, Kurri, Chatta Bakhtawar, Shahzad Town, Rawal Town and Alipur Farash also saw increase in population that resulted into traffic load on Park Road.
