DHA City to include Mass Transit System
The Corps Commander Karachi Lt Gen Shahid Iqbal has directed the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) to get its under-development DHA City project on Super Highway included in the loop of Mass Transit System (MTS) in order to substantially reduce the traveling time from DHA City to metropolis.
The Corps Commander gave these directions while chairing a special meeting of the DHA Karachi’s Executive Board here at Headquarters Corps 5 held the other day to approve the DHA’s development budget for fiscal year 2010-11.
The Executive Board meeting approved a development strategy for DHA to ensure speedy and substantial infrastructure development of the Defence Authority’s phase-VIII and other ongoing development works in DHA. Early completion of DHA City Karachi project within the stipulated timeline was also an important feature of the envisaged strategy.
Corps Commander at the meeting stressed on the need to revive the Hospital project in DHA Phase-VIII for provision of a top-of-the-line medical facility and subsequently the establishment of a medical College for the welfare and wellbeing of the DHA’s residents and citizens of Karachi.
Director Finance DHA informed the meeting that a record amount of Rs 4.3 billion, including Rs. 2.6 billion for Phase-VIII development has been earmarked in the budget for undertaking multifaceted development works in the Housing Authority.
A sum of Rs 1.25 billion has been separately earmarked for master planning and other development works of DHA City Karachi for this year.
The Board was further informed that recovery of refurbishment charges from the DHA residents was must to ensure speedy and uninterrupted development of DHA Phase-VIII as per the stipulated schedule.
