ISLAMABAD, Nov 15 (APP):The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is upgrading commercial centres across the federal capital, with a focus on improving pedestrian facilities, lighting and public spaces alongside renovation of roads and other civic infrastructure.
The facelift programme covers Kohsar Market, F-7 Markaz’s Jinnah Super Market and Aabpara Market, with the authority completing major portions of work at the first two locations.
According to the CDA, upgradation work at Kohsar Market has been completed, with finishing work under way. At Jinnah Super Market, work extending up to Bhittai Road has been completed, while the remaining portion is expected to be completed soon.
The project includes reconstruction of footpaths and installation of decorative electric poles and lighting to improve facilities for pedestrians and visitors.
Renovation work is also under way at Aabpara Market, where landscaping and horticulture are being carried out alongside improvements to sewerage and parking facilities.
The authority is also undertaking patchwork on damaged roads in the commercial centres and installing benches and dustbins to improve public convenience.
CDA Chairman and Chief Commissioner Islamabad Sohail Ashraf has directed the relevant departments to complete the projects within the stipulated timelines while ensuring construction quality.
He said the upgradation of commercial centres would improve the capital’s infrastructure and enhance its overall appearance.
