ISLAMABAD: After a few months of delay due to legal complications, the project to install street lights in Sector D-12, worth Rs. 28.10 million, is set to resume this week.
The work on this project was initially halted when a contractor, who failed to secure the contract, filed a case in court.
As a result, the project was put on hold indefinitely. However, the legal issues have now been resolved, including concerns regarding price escalation.
The contractor has assured the civic authority that the project will be completed within the next three months.
The lack of street lights in Sector D-12 has contributed to a recent increase in street crimes, prompting residents to raise the issue with the concerned authorities.
In 2016, a former Mayor of Islamabad expressed keen interest in the development of Sector D-12 and directed the relevant department to install street lights on all roads within the sector.
The civic agency recognized the importance of street lights in curbing street crimes and emphasized that their installation will greatly contribute to enhancing safety measures in Sector D-12.
An official stated, “Our top priority is to resume uplift projects in recently developed sectors and address the genuine concerns of the residents, ensuring their active participation in the city’s future development.”
Regarding the street lights project, the official confirmed that all legal issues have been resolved, and the contractor is expected to complete the project within the next three months.
