CDA restores 8 bus stops in capital

Islamabad : The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has restored eight bus stops across the city after completion of renovation and repair work.

Most of the stops were giving deserted look due to the negligence of previous administrations of the civic body, an official told APP on Thursday.

Some new stops were also being erected at various locations in the city, including Shaheed-e-Millat, Melody Market and Aabpara Market, he said adding a bus stop was built recently at F-10 Service Road East for convenience of the locals. The authority, he said was making all out efforts to restore the natural beauty of the capital city by utilising its available resources.
