Commissioner Rawalpindi Division Salman Ghani has reviewed the progress of several major infrastructure projects and directed the relevant departments to complete them on schedule while maintaining construction quality and safety during the monsoon season.
The commissioner inspected the Qasim Market Development Project, the Race Course Chowk Development Project, and the 1,400mm water supply pipeline being laid by the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) on Syedpur Road under the Punjab Development Program.
Officials told him that the Qasim Market Development Project will benefit around 182,000 vehicles daily, while the Race Course Chowk Development Project will improve traffic flow for nearly 250,000 vehicles each day. Both projects are scheduled for completion in June 2027.
The commissioner directed all departments to speed up construction, resolve utility shifting and other technical issues through close coordination, and complete the projects according to the approved timeline.
During his visit to the Syedpur Road water supply project, WASA Managing Director Azizullah Khan said about 70% of the work has been completed and the project is expected to finish by August 20, 2026. He said the pipeline will provide a more reliable supply of clean drinking water to residents.
The commissioner also instructed authorities to minimize excavation work during the monsoon and ensure proper safety measures, including warning signs, reflectors, lighting, and traffic management at construction sites.
