CDA allows private housing schemes to build underpasses

Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has allowed housing societies located along the Islamabad Expressway to build underpasses near their entrances, a news source stated.

Reportedly, these underpasses will be part of the signal-free corridor from Zero Point to Rawat. Yet, permission for their construction is limited to Phase III of the corridor, which extends from Koral Chowk to Rawat.

A senior CDA official said the development of underpasses will be mutually beneficial as the housing societies will get better access from the expressway, while the CDA will save extra expenses.

According to CDA Spokesperson Ramzan Sajid, the permission to build underpasses was given after all legal matters were duly considered and housing societies must get their designs approved by the CDA’s engineering wing.

He added that the CDA would retain control over underpasses because the land to be allocated for these belongs to the authority. He also claimed that the housing societies are voluntarily contributing to the signal-free corridor, because of which this is a ‘positive aspect’.

However, the CDA’s ordinance contains no provision for this development.

Street crime: Dolphin Force (almost) ready to serve

Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif will preside over the passing out of the first batch of the Dolphin Force by the end of March, officials in the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) told The Express Tribune.

Dolphin Force, a new force within police, is an initiative of the provincial government. It has been modelled on the lines of the Turkish Dolphin Force. The force will be tasked with maintaining law and order, patrolling and curbing street crime in the city.

“The training of the first batch is almost complete. It is ready to serve. The force will help curb street crime and make the provincial metropolis safer,” a CMO official told The Express Tribune. Turkish experts have trained some 25 master trainers who were sent to Turkey to be trained. The trainers then trained around 700 police officials of the first batch with the assistance of the Turks.

The force will be equipped with tailored heavy bikes and sophisticated weaponry. “Officials will be posted with regard to crime and crowd concentrations. The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) has been working to geo-tag provincial crime data which will be used to deploy the officials. Their movement will be tracked by GPS.The officials will use bikes to patrol areas. [This will enable them to pursue suspects across the city’s narrow lanes with greater efficiency and effectiveness,” another CMO official told The Express Tribune.

The force will consist of 1,800 constables, 60 ASIs, 15 SIs, four DSPs and an SP who will work in three shifts with 300 motorcycles. Other equipment being raised includes 10 minibuses for field support, 600 helmets, 600 body cameras, 200 GPS locators and 300 wireless radios. Force officials will be attired in a special uniform to distinguish them from regular police.

The force will operate under the administrative control of the operations DIG. Confirming the near completion of the first batch’s training, Operations DIG Haider Ashraf said its officials would be allotted 138 beats. He said policemen from regular police had been selected and trained for the first batch.
