Islamabad new sectors: allocations and claims inconsistent

Only Rs 963 million has been allocated for development of ignored sectors in the CDA budget 2009-10, announced on Tuesday, which ran against claims of the authority’s head about placing focus on development of ignored sectors. Due to slow development of new sectors, a housing shortage has been growing in the city. The CDA allocated Rs 1.040 billion last year for sectors’ development. A senior official told Daily Times that the CDA should complete the sectors launched already before announcing new ones.
