ISLAMABAD: Land being acquired for I-17

Capital Development Authority (CDA) has started acquiring land in I-17 to make it second industrial sector of the city, sources told this news agency on Monday. They said new industrial sector would be established on 800 acres. They said the CDA would also demarcate industrial plots and set up dry port, bus terminal and bus shelters in I-17. They said the CDA would design layout for new industrial sector after acquiring land in I-17.

They said the CDA had decided to establish new industrial sector, as I-9 - first industrial sector of the federal capital - was too packed to accommodate new industries. App 16/9/2008
