The Capital Development Authority (CDA) announced on Friday that development work in E-12 sector has reached 60 percent completion. The sector, launched in 1989, has been a work in progress despite the 37 years that have passed since its inception, with many initial plot allottees passing away over time. Adverse possession of land was identified as a major reason for the delay.
However, a recent operation retrieved 1135 kanals of government land, putting the development work back on track. A CDA press release stated that full-scale construction activities are underway, with significant progress made in earthwork and base work. In Sector E-12/4, earthwork is complete, and work on the base, sub-base, and drainage is progressing rapidly.
In E-12/3, triple service treatment (TST) construction in 15 streets has been completed, with earthwork and base work ongoing in the remaining streets. Similarly, in E-12/2, TST in 25 streets is complete, and earthwork and base work progress swiftly in the remaining streets. In E-12/1, TST in 25 streets is completed, and earthwork is underway in the remaining streets.
The CDA chief emphasized that completing the development work in E-12 and other sectors is a top priority, utilizing all available resources for early project completion. The development will improve residential facilities for citizens and contribute to the city's overall growth, addressing the increasing population's residential needs. The CDA has set a goal to complete the entire development work in the sector within six months.
