Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has ramped up efforts to address longstanding delays in the development of several key sectors of Islamabad, most notably Sector E-12, where allottees have been waiting for possession of their plots for over three decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a high-level meeting held on Friday, CDA Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa directed the authority\u2019s engineering wing to expedite development work in sectors E-12, C-14, and I-12. He issued a two-month timeline for visible progress and emphasized the need to adhere strictly to quality standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting was convened amid mounting pressure from allottees and stakeholders, particularly in Sector E-12, which was launched in 1989 but has seen only partial development. Most allottees still await access to their plots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairman Randhawa instructed the concerned officials to float tenders for development work in sub-sector E-12\/4 and begin construction in areas where land possession is available. To resolve remaining land disputes in E-12\/4, he tasked the Deputy Commissioner with securing possession through negotiations with local residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis month, we are planning to issue allotment letters for plots where development is complete,\u201d a CDA official stated, indicating a shift toward resolving long-pending cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting also reviewed progress in other delayed sectors. In Sector I-12, it was reported that approximately 70% of road, drainage, and sewerage infrastructure is complete. In Sector C-15, issues with contractors that had previously slowed progress have reportedly been resolved, and work is expected to resume at full pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to speeding up physical development, the CDA chairman ordered the establishment of camp offices within these sectors. These offices will be responsible for addressing public complaints on-site, ensuring that grievances are resolved quickly and transparently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The renewed push signals the CDA\u2019s commitment to delivering long-promised possessions to plot owners, many of whom have endured years\u2014if not decades\u2014of delays. The authority\u2019s leadership has pledged to maintain oversight to ensure that timelines are met and that development work meets required standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sector E-12, in particular, remains a litmus test for the CDA\u2019s capacity to fulfill its obligations to citizens. With the chairman\u2019s latest directives and increased on-ground monitoring, the hope is that the long wait for many Islamabad residents may finally be coming to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
