In order to maintain uninterrupted traffic flow on the road, the CDA roads director was also instructed to introduce traffic management solutions at State Bank Chowk. Furthermore, the traffic engineering and traffic planning director was given a week to come up with a design and commence work on the same.

Meanwhile, in a meeting with the Engineering and Planning section, directions /instructions were also issued that notices for the next Capital Development Authority Development Working Party (CDA-DWP) meeting be issued by coming Tuesday so that development project of Sector E-12 and Park Enclave could be approved.

During the meeting, it was also informed that PC-I for Sector I-15 was also ready and would be placed in the next meeting of the CDA-DWP, which is likely to be scheduled within 10 days.

The Engineering Wing has been further tasked to ensure commencement of development work in Sectors I-15 and E-12 before June 30, 2019.

The chairman also directed the formations concerned that tenders for the projects that had been approved, like the G-7/G-8 underpass, Rawal Dam Chowk and IJP Road Traffic Management Solutions, should be issued this week.

During the meeting, it was discussed that as finances of the CDA were gradually improving, more pending projects, particularly those of sector development, should be taken up at the earliest.
