Is this along the lines of creating a new metro lane or something or will it be on existing roads?

Islamabad needs a tolled entry system ASAP, along with paid parking at the major markets.

It has become a hell hole.

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has offered the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) 25 acres of land near D-12 for a cricket stadium.

CDA Chairman Noorul Amin Mengal stated that the board had 150 acres of land that it intended to develop for sports.

The proposed stadium, which would be used for international matches, is expected to increase the beauty of Islamabad. The remaining land will be used to develop other sports facilities. The proposed site is outside of Zone III, but the chairman stated that even if it falls within the zone, the CDA could use it for sports facilities, as it had done near Aabpara.

In 2018, the Supreme Court cancelled the construction of a stadium in Shakarparian, which had been jointly constructed by the PCB and CDA. The CDA has since decided to offer new sites for the stadium to the PCB.

The government declared 2,250 acres as a sports centre in Shakarparian in 1960, but in 1979, it included the area in the national park and Zone III, preventing the construction of new facilities.

I don't understand this obsession with palm trees. Islamabad's weather is ideal for wide range of beautiful trees. Back in the 70s and 80s we used to have beautiful colors of spring and fall.

CDA chief summoned to explain cracks in Islamabad’s newly-built Margalla Avenue​

Jamal Shahid
May 4, 2023

ISLAMABAD: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has summoned chairman of Capital Development Authority (CDA) Noorul Amin Mengal on Thursday to discuss cracks that developed in the newly constructed Margalla Road.

“This is a disturbingly urgent matter. We would like to know how cracks have developed in the new Margalla Road. Payments to the contractors must be stopped immediately whether it is the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) or the National Logistics Cell (NLC),” said PAC Chairman Noor Alam Khan.

He took up the matter after discussing the audit report of the Ministry of Industries and Production at the Parliament building on Wednesday.

The Margalla Road, which is yet to be formally inaugurated, stretches from GT Road to D-12 and has been opened for traffic. However, it is yet to be formally inaugurated as some work on it is still pending, including a 700-metre portion of the road.

Mr Khan observed that cracks had developed on both sides of the road near Shah Allah Ditta underpass, raising questions over the quality of construction work.

Reportedly, CDA’s Member Engineering Syed Munawar Shah said that cracks developing in newly-built roads were a matter of routine, adding that the road was still incomplete.

“So far, handing/taking over of the road has not been done. But we opened it to facilitate the public. The cracks in question will be redone within a few days. In this portion of the road, we had to do a 10 to 12 feet filling,” he said, adding that except a small patch the entire road was state-of-the-art,“ he said.

A few days ago, the chairman of CDA had visited the site and directed the contractor to resolve the issue.

Nonetheless, cracks in the newly constructed Margalla Road suggest substandard quality of work, observed Mr Khan.

The CDA is executing the project through another contractor - National Logistics Cell (NLC). The project worth around Rs3.9 billion also has five culverts and an interchange at E-11 and is supposed to be completed in six months.

Similarly, Member of National Assembly (MNA) Wajiha Qamar, said that chairman of CDA also needed to explain the increase in encroachments across the federal capital, especially in markets. The committee wondered why seating arrangements in front of restaurants were removed one day but a few days later, chairs were seen again on sidewalks and blocking public access areas.
