Ombudsman orders probe against CDA
ISLAMABAD - The Federal Ombudsman has initiated an investigation against the Capital Development Authority (CDA) over an inordinate delay in the execution of its plan regarding the construction of two pedestrian bridges at the Faisal Avenue and one at the Kashmir Highway.
“The Federal Ombudsman has initiated the investigation after receiving public complaints as well as on reports appearing in the media. The ombudsman has sought explanation from the CDA’s relevant directorate regarding the delay in the execution of the said projects,” an official source told Pakistan Today.
The source said some citizens had told the ombudsman that the residents of sector G-7 and G-8 had to cross the busy road during rush hours due to lack of the bridge there. They said the CDA had constructed flyover over the Zero Point Interchange (ZPI) and Faisal Avenue with millions of rupees but the project failed to provide any facility to the pedestrians, he said.
He said that ZPI had failed to ease the traffic flow due to a delay in the construction of pedestrian bridges at the Faisal Avenue and Kashmir Highway.
The official said that the concerned directorate of CDA had also prepared PC-1 of worth Rs 48 million for construction of the pedestrian bridges and it was decided that Highway Mechanical Complex would execute the project. But the authority’s finance wing was yet to release fund for the work. He said that the main purpose of construction of ZPI was to ensure smooth flow of traffic over Faisal Avenue and Kashmir Highway but due to lack of pedestrian bridges there traffic jams and road accidents had become a routine matter.
