Mayor of Islamabad and Chairman, Capital Development Authority (CDA), Sheikh Anser Aziz has said that acting upon policy of self-reliance and self-sustainability all formations of CDA and Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad (MCI) are being strengthened both financially and administratively.
He said that after revamping Machinery Pool Organisation (MPO), repair and maintenance and carpeting of 116 Kilometre roads have been carried out and efforts are being made to complete the projects even less than the estimated cost so that sufficient amount could be saved.
He expressed these views while addressing the Iftar Dinner arranged by the MPO Directorate. On this occasion, Member Engineering / Chief Officer, MCI, Senior Officers of CDA / MCI and employees of MPO were also present.
Sheikh Anser Aziz said that after assuming the responsibility regarding development of the city MPO was revamped and 116 Kilometre roads including Constitution Avenue, Pir Sohawa, G-8 Round about, Secretariat Blocks, Sector D-12, Convention Centre, Diplomatic Enclave, Service Road (North) Sector E-11, Khyaban-e-Suherwardi, Serena Chowk, VIP Loop Fiazabad Chowk, Khayaban-e-Iqbal and Margalla Road. If these roads had been carpeted by any other organisation it would have cost Rs295 million, however, by utilising available resources of MPO Directorate Rs190 million have been saved.
He said that federal government, under the leadership of Prime Minister of Pakistan Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, is acting upon the policy of self-reliance and it is matter of honour that CDA and MCI are also following the tradition set by the federal government and available resources are being utilized to make federal capital a modern city.
