ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) will start development work in Sector I-15 in the first week of April and it has hired a consultant for infrastructural development, a CDA official said here Friday.

Infrastructural development would be completed by April 2010, while construction of 8,000 flats would start in October to be completed in December 2011, he said. The official said after submission of the design report by the consultant, CDA would call tender as per the rules and regulations of Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) and Public Procurement Regularity Authority (PPRA) for the development work.

He said Chairman CDA Kamran Lashari was taking keen interest in development of the sector so that the growing demand of residential accommodation for low-income people could be met.

Development of Sector I-15, which was launched for the low income people, was delayed because the contractor who was earlier given the development task failed to carry out the development work within the stipulated period.
