Islamabad Property, May 4: Poor engineering in the construction of a road at Sector I-11/2 has caused a loss of about Rs1 billion to the civic agency of Islamabad Property, it has been learnt.
The I-11/2 land is under the possession of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and its engineering wing is constructing the one-kilometre-long road in the sector, said a senior official of the civic agency.
The sector has a large number of residential plots developed for the CDA employees. The official said the engineering wing during the road work had eaten up over 150 residential plots.
“The road was constructed on an area which originally had 150 residential plots of different sizes and the error is in the notice of the CDA management,” added the official.
“How can you eat up our plots because of the poor road engineering,” said labour union leader Mazhar Hussain.
He said they would lodge a protest with the management of the authority through their union representatives if a proper probe was not initiated into the issue.
“We will take the matter to the court of law if action was not taken against the culprits,” he added.
However, Sanaullah Aman, the member engineering of the authority, passed the buck to the CDA planning department.
