The Building Housing Control Wing has been given full empowerment to prevent illegal constructions and enforce building by-laws, with 50 teams of field staff consisting of one assistant director and two surveyors.
Furthermore, the Sanitation Directorate and Environment Wing were also strengthened by reviewing their rules and regulations, with the authority to impose fines and punishments.

Similarly, the floor area ratio for the H series Sector Institutional Building has also been increased, along with educational plots of Zone 2, 4, and 5 of Islamabad.
AGOSH-II Housing Society was also approved, and the concept plan of Islamabad Bus Terminal I-11 is to be presented in two weeks, with work starting within two months.
The board also resumed the work on the cultural complex stalled since 2010, and it was renamed Al-Hamra Islamabad, while the Ladies Club located in Sector G-10 was also renamed Citizen Centre G-10.
Besides, the board also approved the establishment of the Green Fund, where 2% of the total cost of all major projects in Islamabad will be deposited.
CDA Pension Fund and Endowment Fund were also approved, with 5 percent of the income kept in these funds.
According to the spokesperson, the decisions will help regulate and enforce building laws in the city, prevent illegal constructions, and protect the environment.
The unwise replacement of traffic signals with U turns has added misery to the road user on Srinagar highway .The accident ratio has increased and wastage of resources in foreign finance, wastage of time and mental tension is tremendous. No body seems to have the time to look into it. We are rushing to New schemes but not caring for the existing.
sorry to differ but replacement of signals with u turns has been very helpful. traffic flow is better now. no time wastage in traffic jams
I think u turns on srinagar highway are one of the most cost effective and time saving project which keeps the traffic flow running all the time.
The replacement of signals with dedicated u turns on Sarinagar highway are very much appreciated, However for sake of further improvement, provision of additinal lanes upto sarina chowk along with flyover will further improve the traffic flow and facilitate the road user
Totally agreed. CDA is full of such morons who initiated such nonesense ideas. Eliminating two signal and adding crossings at every 4-5 km making life hazsrd, wasting fuel and time for daily commuters on this route in addition to mental torture
I believe those U-turns are an amazing idea. Whoever came up with them, should be commended.
Good work, CDA!
Prof kayani,
1)The idea of replacement of U-turns on Srinagar Highway proved very dangerous n lethal, specially for bike users n Pedestrians. Almost it has become impossible for Pedestrians to cross the too long Srinagar Highway without any alternate . Therefore it is public demand that U- turns may be restored.
2) Overhead bridges on Srinagar Highway serves only metro buses plying for airport, it is also demanded that these overhead bridges maybe opened for the pedestrian moving the Srinagar Highway.
It is prayed that these hazards n problems for general public may kindly be addressed on priority basis. I can also be appeared personally on any forum for detail briefings on this issue.

Footpath, greenbelt and almost half of the road of both sides of Khush hal khan khattak road in G-7 is encroached by auto mechanics. Due to such encroachment causes traffic jam and polluted the environment. Concern cda authorities is requested to take action against such distortion.
سری نگر ھائ وے موٹر بائیک کے لیے بہت خطرناک ھے خاص طور پر جب سیدھے ھاتھ پر یو ٹرن لینا ھو پیچھے سے تیز رفتار گاڑیاں۔ انہیں کچل دیتی ہیں دوسری طرف بائک کے لیے سیدھے ھاتھ پر ڈرائو کرنا بھی منع ھے پھر بھی انہیں مجبور ھونا پڑتا ھے اس ان کے لیے پولیس لائن روڈ پر بھی فلاح اور یا انڈر پاس بنایا جائے
100% agree
It is very important
100% agreed
U-Turn philosophy on HIGHWAY or EXPRESS WAY is unheard off and uncalled off since it is suicidal.
I remember that the initial Maater Plan of Islamabad was signal free due to its natural lay out of ups and down.
Overhead bridge like the one at zero point is pretty cost saving due height on both sides of the bridge and it could have been easily built on Srinagar Highway to connect G-11 /H11 with Police line Road as is the underpass connecting G8/H8 with minimal cost.
Motto of CDA should be ” FACILITATING CITIZENS” instead of IRRITATING CITIZENS
CDA sector F-16 has been left unattended for a decade. JKCHS allotted plots to the investors for which land has not yet been acquired over the past 10 years. CDA is requested to probe into the matter immediately for the redressal of the grievance of the citizens.
Is there any project of CDA opposite of Multi garden b-17
Please pay some attention to G 15. For Gods sake, the sector is a total disaster. CDA should pay attention to residents living in these societies along way of GT road . Its so mismanaged
Since more than last one year, residents of I-10/4 specially are passing their lives miserably due to heavy dust pollution every where by IJP road Construction on its one side and of Tenth Avenue construction on other side. The bridge on IJP Nullah Lai has been completed but no proper U Turns for the residents of I-10 and Khayaban have been designed as yet resulting traffic hazard on IJP road despite of widening of road. On the other side, the construction work on bridge of Nullah Lai on Tenth Avenue has been totally stoped for the reasons not known. Another negative development that the already available bridge on the West Service Road(I-9) of Tenth Avenue to connect I-9 to IJP road has been blocked to use. And now there is only one incomplete and half constructed overhead bridge to connect I-10 Markaz and I-9 Markaz has been opened temporarily which is always blocked by the both side traffic specially in the peak hours. It is earnestly requested that at least this bridge may be fully constructed and opened for traffic. Similarly the already bridge on west side of Tenth Avenue to connect I-9 and IJP road may also be opened immediately. Similarly The service road alongside of IJP road from Nullah Lai to 9th Avenue may be re-carpeted immediately which has now been damaged badly due to use of heavy machinery for the construction of IJP road.
At least, carpeting of this service road on urgent basis will lessen the miseries of the I-10 residents to some extent.

قائداعظم محمد علی جناح نے 1946 میں کشمیر کے دورے سے واپس آتے ھوئے سری نگر روڈ، مل پور راجگان بہارہ کہو کے مقام پر مقامی
آبادی کے اجتماع سے تاریخی خطاب کیاتھا.
اس حوالے سے پاکستان سیٹیزن پورٹل پر تجویز
دی تھی کہ قائداعظم کی زندگی کے اس تاریخی لمحے کی یادگار تعمیر کرکے محفوظ کرنے خوبصورت مینار تعمیر کرکے سیاحوں کی توجہ
کا مرکز بنا دیا جائے تاکہ ایبٹ آباد ،کشمیر اور
مری جانے والے سیاحوں کی آمد سے مقامی آبادی کے مکینون کو روزگار بھی ملے
یہ تجویز منظور ھونے کے بعد سی ڈی اے ڈائریکٹر پلاننگ جناب فراز ملک نے اس سارے پراسیس کو پائیہ تکمیل تک پہنچانے میں مرکزی رول ادا کیا.
امید ھے سی ڈی اے کے ارباب اختیار اس تجویز کو کے بارے میں اب تک ھونے والی کاروائی اور پیش و رفت کا جائزہ لے حکومت پاکستان سے منظوری لے باقاعدہ تعمیراتی کام کا آغاز کریں گے.
شکریہ
