The<\/span> Capital<\/span> Development<\/span> Authority<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>CDA<\/span>)<\/span> has<\/span> announced<\/span> that<\/span> every<\/span> park<\/span> in<\/span> each<\/span> sector<\/span> of<\/span> Islamabad<\/span> will<\/span> be<\/span> transformed<\/span> as<\/span> the<\/span> CDA<\/span> continues<\/span> to make<\/span> public<\/span> spaces<\/span> and<\/span> city<\/span> infrastructures<\/span> better<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The plan<\/span> will<\/span> see<\/span> the development<\/span> of new walking tracks, new<\/span> lighting systems, new<\/span> children\u2019s play equipment, and better<\/span> horticultural features.<\/p>\n

While<\/span> reviewing<\/span> the<\/span> condition<\/span> of<\/span> civic<\/span> infrastructure<\/span> in<\/span> the<\/span> federal<\/span> capital<\/span>,<\/span> the<\/span> Chairman of<\/span> CDA and Chief Commissioner Islamabad, Muhammad Ali Randhawa, directed<\/span> the upgrade<\/span> of<\/span> parks<\/span> in<\/span> every<\/span> sector<\/span> of<\/span> the city<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The CDA chief stated<\/span> that it<\/span> remains a priority to<\/span> tackle<\/span> Islamabad<\/span>‘<\/span>s<\/span> traffic<\/span> congestion<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> parking<\/span> problems<\/span>.<\/span> The<\/span> CDA<\/span> is working<\/span> on<\/span> new roads and new<\/span> underpasses,<\/span> and<\/span> parking plazas at developed<\/span> sites<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Roadways,<\/span> including<\/span> the<\/span> Expressway, Margalla Road, Club Road, Park Road, and Faisal Avenue, will<\/span> get<\/span> upgraded<\/span> with<\/span> new<\/span> lane markings, footpath rehabilitation<\/span>, green belt improvements<\/span>, and medians<\/span> beautified<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Randhawa<\/span> was<\/span> at<\/span> the Pakistan Secretariat to<\/span> enquire<\/span> about<\/span> parking arrangements for officers, personnel<\/span>, and visitors,<\/span> and<\/span> met<\/span> with<\/span> Member Planning, Member Environment, DG Works, and other senior officials about ongoing works<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Planned<\/span> work<\/span> is<\/span> also<\/span> focused<\/span> on<\/span> the public<\/span> right-of-way, megaforests, and urban forestry<\/span> works<\/span> to<\/span> reduce<\/span> water and land pollution in the federal<\/span> capital.<\/p>\n

As<\/span> part<\/span> of<\/span> the city‘<\/span>s beautification plan<\/span>, horticulture and landscaping work have been undertaken<\/span> on several model roads with<\/span> improved<\/span> landscaping<\/span> and<\/span> horticulture<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seasonal flowers, decorative planters, and wooden signboards will<\/span> also<\/span> be<\/span> used<\/span> to beautify<\/span> the roads<\/span>. Night<\/span>–<\/span>time<\/span> visibility<\/span> and<\/span> safety<\/span> are also<\/span> being improved<\/span> through<\/span> new,<\/span> more<\/span> efficient<\/span> lighting<\/span> systems<\/span> for<\/span> the<\/span> newly<\/span> landscaped<\/span> roads<\/span>,<\/span> which<\/span> residents<\/span> appear<\/span> to<\/span> value<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Ch Muhammad Ali Randhawa directed CDA teams to ensure permanent and attractive<\/span> lighting of<\/span> some<\/span> major<\/span> roads,<\/span> including<\/span> Club Road, Jinnah Avenue, and the Expressway.<\/p>\n

He further<\/span> stressed<\/span> that an effective<\/span> sprinkler system is<\/span> vital<\/span> to keep<\/span> plants alive<\/span> during dry spells and while<\/span> maintaining<\/span> healthy plants<\/span>. All<\/span> these<\/span> activities<\/span> are part of a broader plan<\/span> to make<\/span> Islamabad an<\/span> ecologically<\/span> sustainable<\/span> and tourist-friendly city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
