Rawalpindi: The Punjab Rural Municipal Services Company (PRMSC) has announced a major initiative to modernise 31 old and densely populated villages across all six districts of the Rawalpindi Division, declaring them as model villages. The project, with a total approved cost of over PKR 3.38 billion, aims to upgrade municipal services and improve living standards in these historic settlements.
Under the plan, residents will benefit from enhanced water, electricity, gas, sewerage, and drainage systems. Streets, lanes, and pathways will be paved, while sanitation services will be strengthened, and washroom culture promoted. The project also includes improved transport links, with dual carriage roads connecting each village to nearby markets and towns.
To ensure a reliable water supply at the household level, new tube wells, mini-dams, and water tanks will be constructed. Low-cost convenience bazaars will also be established to serve residents efficiently.
