ISLAMABAD: The district administration’s revenue department will acquire land for the Shahdara Dam as the Capital Development Authority continues to implement the project.

The dam construction in Shahdara will provide Islamabad residents with 10 million gallons of water each day. CDA Chairman Mohammad Ali Randhawa presided over a meeting and directed officials to take steps for the early launch of the project.

The officers informed the chairman through a press release that WAPDA had completed the feasibility study, which included initial estimates for land acquisition, water conveyance, and treatment plant construction.

The dam design work will begin soon after the dam area reaches 25 acres. The CDA Development Working Party will receive the PC-1 proposal for their upcoming approval process.

Randhawa instructed that Suparco conduct a survey before land acquisition begins, and he emphasized that all land matters must follow legal requirements.

He added that the committee responsible for water issues in the twin cities should receive both the feasibility report and detailed design for their evaluation and approval process.
