The Capital Development Authority (CDA) announced its decision to build a beautiful garden at D-Chowk in order to improve the beauty of the federal capital.
As a testament to democracy, the garden will be erected in front of the Parliament Lodges. The garden will be open to the public and Parliamentarians.
The project’s deadline has been scheduled for August 14, 2023, according to CDA Chairman Noor-ul-Amin Mengal.
The garden’s building will be a collaborative endeavor between the CDA and private firms. The garden will also be designed and built by private enterprises and developers.
The CDA chief has asked all officers to use all available resources to ensure the garden is completed by the deadline. To ensure the project’s success, the site study for the garden’s development will be concluded within 10 days.
In addition, the garden will feature two central gates with a fence surrounding them for a safe and secure setting.
The Chairman CDA also paid a visit to the garden site with officers such as DG Design, Member Planning,?DG Environment, and others. The Chairman CDA asked the officers to prepare PC-I for the project during the visit.
Furthermore, he has recommended that the green belt located in front of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) be beautified. More flowers and trees will be planted throughout the green belt to make it more visually appealing to the public while also improving its environmental friendliness.
Meanwhile, the CDA chairman also approved several policies, including rainwater harvesting in homes, renting out plots to private schools, and granting sanitation and environmental bodies the authority to levy fines on violators.
Every house, according to the new regulation, must have a rainwater collection tank and a small well for replenishing groundwater. Without these facilities, no building plan will be approved.
Moreover, private schools can now lease lands for 33 years, with a payment mechanism to be finalized later. Plots would be rented out on a 100-point scale, with 20% earmarked for house-based schools and 25% reserved for schools charging Rs5,000 to Rs15,000 in fees.
