RAWALPINDI:
The Rawalpindi Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) annual development programme (ADP) will be in a quandary soon, as the Punjab government has said no to most of its schemes.
In fact, all the development schemes submitted by PHA to the Punjab government for approval, only a rain harvesting pilot project worth Rs50 million has been approved. This translates into an almost 90 percent cut in Rawalpindi PHA’s annual development programme.
The Rawalpindi PHA sent ADP proposals to the Punjab government for many development schemes such as beautification of Rawalpindi worth Rs100 million, construction of PHA building worth Rs75 million, upgradation and remodeling of Liaquat Bagh Rs50 million, construction of Sports Complex at Allama Iqbal Park cum club of Rs100 million, boundary wall of Pothohar park of Rs8.58 million, upgradation of electrification and civil work at Allama Iqbal Park of Rs8.83 million and rain harvesting project of Rs50 million.
