ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday presided over a meeting regarding the master plan of the federal capital in Islamabad.
During the meeting, the prime minister stressed for revisiting the master plan of Islamabad keeping in view the ground realities and increase in its population.
Imran Khan said that in the interim period, sub rules should immediately be framed for the protection of the capital s green areas and regularize the construction activities.
He noted that work is in progress to provide better residential facilities to the dwellers of slums in Islamabad under Naya Pakistan Housing Project, adding that the aim is to provide them better civic facilities and improve their standards of living.
“Problems relating to increase in population, expansion of the city and its better management were totally ignored in the past,” the premier regretted adding that this resulted in extinction of green areas and irregular construction.
