ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has established a helpline to address complaints of water accumulation due to heavy rain in the federal capital promptly, aiming to alleviate any inconvenience faced by citizens.
Chairman CDA Capt ® Anwar ul Haq oversaw the creation of this initiative. The CDA, MCI, and ICT staff were very busy in Islamabad amid the heavy rains.
They ensured that water accumulating on highways was cleared and immediately responded to reports of standing water in various regions.

Additionally, according to the CDA administration’s directions, specific measures were implemented on the roadways to lessen the impact of heavy rains on traffic flow and avoid problems like traffic congestion.

The joint teams from CDA, MCI, and ICT were mobilized across CDA’s sectorial and non-sectorial areas, including housing societies and other low-lying regions.

The teams helped remove water from low-lying regions, including residential structures, by using dewatering pumps, among other tools.

It is important to note that relevant staff members’ holidays have been canceled due to the rainy weather. Additionally, the duties have been assigned to staff members at various intervals, and stringent monitoring of low-lying areas is being upheld.
