  "account": "The Capital Development Authority (CDA) in Islamabad was criticized in the National Assembly on Monday for dumping garbage between I-10 and I-11, causing environmental issues. MNA Asiya Naz Tanoli raised the concern, urging the minister for interior and narcotics control to address the matter. State Minister for Interior Talal Chaudhry confirmed the waste remained undumped for six months and stated it would be removed soon. He also announced a new solid waste depot would start functioning in I-9 within three months, and eventually, the waste would be shifted to Loser Rawalpindi. Chaudhry expressed frustration with residents who pay no fees for waste collection, even in affluent areas, and noted that globally, people pay more for solid waste services than electricity bills.

He emphasized that special focus was being given to sector development, and commercial areas within sector E-12 were recently retrieved worth Rs200 billion.
