[GDA is Working Day and Night for Visible Change in Galiyat: Director Administration Raza Habib]
ABBOTTABAD: The Galiyat Development Authority (
#GDA) is working day and
#night to complete the construction and repair of roads in time in the scenic
#Galiyat region.
This was stated by
#Director GDA
#RazaAliHabib while briefing Secretary Sports, Tourism & Youth Affairs Muhammad Azam Khan, who is also director general of GDA.
He said that the work was in three shifts and the roads between the tourist resorts
#Nathiagali and
#Ayubia have been widened while the others were repaired.
The official said that 80 per cent construction work on other roads will be completed by November 30. “Eleven out of 17 small and medium roads in four serene spots in Ayubia,
#Khanaspur, Nathiagali and
#Changlagali are near to completion,” he added.
The repair and renovation work of chairlift is in full swing to make it functional next week. The chairlift was built in 1964 and since then no major repair work had been done.
After the repair of
#chairlift, the official said, the tourists along with their families would be able to enjoy ride between the scenic spots.
The director also informed that the GDA would also launch another cleanliness campaign from September 14 in which garbage on 30 kilometer road from Baragali to Barian would be disposed of.
For this purpose, he said, extra sanitation staff had been hired, who will be provided necessary equipment to make the drive a success.
It should be noted here that previously the GDA had a successful cleanliness drive in the main tourist spots - Nathiagali, Ayubia, Changlagali and others. The campaign was widely appreciated by visiting tourists and people from all walks of life.
To ensure cleanliness, the director held a meeting with the owners of hotels and asked them to keep their surroundings clean, or else the GDA will seal the hotels.
In this regard, an agreement was also signed with the hotels while the local population in six Galiyat townships extended full support to the government in this new initiative after they were sent letter for cooperation to keep Galiyat clean.
The members of Nathiagali Club had taken initiative for cleaning Galiyat and removing encroachments but due to lack of resources and funds the task was not completed.
Soon after taking over charge of GDA, the new management launched several uplift projects in Galiyat to facilitate tourists and local population.
