Progress on several long-pending housing sectors, including C-14, C-15, C-16, E-12, and I-12, was reviewed. Officials were asked to accelerate development so possession could be handed over to allottees.

CDA was also tasked with preparing detailed development plans for new sectors C-13, D-13, E-13, and F-13.

In addition, the meeting gave the go-ahead for Phase One of the Diplomatic Enclave Upgradation Project, covering road improvements, security measures, and public amenities. Plans to remodel Daman-e-Koh for visitors, as well as the December 31 target for completing groundwork on two five-star hotels, were also discussed.

Officials briefed the minister on other initiatives, including progress on the Model Jail project and the allocation of land for a new Capital House.
