Rawalpindi Development Plan Gets CM’s Approval;

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has also approved the Rawalpindi Development Plan, which aims to improve water supply, sewerage systems, and rainwater harvesting.

In a meeting at the RDA office, Secretary Housing, Urban Development and Public Health Engineering Noorul Amin Mengal said PC-I documents for the plan must be prepared without delay. He said the government had already launched similar projects in Lahore, and now Rawalpindi would benefit as well.

He stressed that parks under PHA should be used to build rainwater storage tanks, and all resources must be used to conserve water.

Water Projects and Monsoon Preparations;

Mr Mengal directed that the Daducha Dam water supply feasibility be completed quickly. He praised Wasa for recovering Rs2.6 billion in revenue, exceeding its Rs2.3 billion target, and asked for further improvements next year.

Regarding the Leh Nullah project, he said two-lane roads will be built on both sides and a sewage treatment plant will be set up to recycle water for agriculture use.

Strict Monitoring of Housing Schemes;

The secretary also stopped RDA and PHATA from approving new housing schemes until the Rawalpindi Master Plan is completed. He said the provincial government is planning to bring all private housing societies under one civic body for better monitoring.
