ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has allocated Rs10 billion for the development of rural areas in Islamabad.
This funding will be utilized to complete important infrastructure projects, including solid waste management, sewerage systems, and the construction and maintenance of roads and public transport schemes.
During a review meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday, the allocation was discussed in detail.
Progress of Under-Development Projects in Islamabad
The meeting was also informed about the ongoing projects of Bara Kahu Bypass, 7th Avenue Interchange, Margalla Avenue, 11th Avenue, IJP Road, Islamabad Expressway, and Parking Plaza.
Regarding the progress on Bara Kahu Bypass, the meeting was informed that work is ongoing around the clock, and the prime minister directed to complete it as soon as possible, stating that any delay would not be tolerated as it is a crucial public project.
The meeting also revealed that the 7th Avenue Interchange and Margalla Avenue projects had been completed, and the expansion of IJP Road would be completed by March 23.

The prime minister also emphasized the importance of transparency and automation in the investment process and warned against any obstructions or interruptions in these projects.
The allocation of Rs10 billion for the development of rural areas in Islamabad and the ongoing progress on various projects discussed in the meeting are expected to improve the infrastructure and facilities for the citizens of Islamabad.
I am a resident of Shah Allah Ditta, with inauguration of Margala Avenue Expressway CDA has totally bypassed our village to link it the Avenue, worst of all the present link road from D12 via graveyard has been destroyed by the heavy equipment used by FWO in constructing the Margala Avenue, instead of repairing the link road both CDA & FWO put their tail between their legs and ran away, further more the construction of Margala Avenue is a disaster the road has sunk on various points and is uneven all the was specially from underpass to C12 you can verify it by using it. FWO HAS FAILED to keep the quality of work and is a classic case for NAB many heads would roll in the case, FWO is already repairing their faults you can check it while proceeding from Sangjani, where was CDAs quality checking staff, A very big question mark.
I strongly endorse

AoA Respected Sir, Srayekharboza z also a rural area of Islamabad. There z no facility has been provided by the Govt. CDA in this area. Thousands of families resides in this area. Syed Amanullah Tirmizi, 0300 5209944.
People of Alipur farash. Tramri. Tarlai chukshezad and Chatha bakhtswar are still not getting any attention as the population is higher than other sectors of isb.
AOA, Sir, my village is Palali under Union Council Pind Begwal. Roads of our areas are very poor condition and bain nala road was constructed in 1996 but could not repaired after construction. Dr. Tariq Fazal Ch. remained MNA and Minister from 2008 to 2018 but he did not work in this UC.
Respected Chairman CDA
AOA,
Sir, I am resident of Pind Begwal and some other UCs like Bharakau, Phulgran , Tumair are in same route and populations of these areas is more than 1 lac. People of these areas are facing difficulties due to non availbity of Public Transport.
It is humbly requested that a Bus Route from Bharakau to Tumair may be started. It is also pertient to mention here that almost 50% resident of these areas are low paid government servents who performes there duties in Islambad city.
There is no facility in village hurno (malalpul) on lehtrar road, Islamabad.
It is 6km from taramri chowk, and 2km from nilore factory from other side. It is thickly populated rural area, but there is:
No bus service/terminal
No bank/atm
No water filteration plant
No garbage bin
No hospital or rural heath center
No boys school for kids under 12 years
Can anybody take necessary steps to bring these facilities here?
Fail to understand the reason of stoping of Margla Town underpass on Muree Rd when almost 80% of the work has been completed…before taling up.new ventures it would be appropriate to complete the ones in hand…Margla Town underpass which is part of Rawal Dam overhead bridge.
