Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has fast-tracked development work in several long-delayed residential sectors of Islamabad under the directives of Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa, marking visible progress in long-awaited housing projects across the capital.

According to official sources on Sunday, a recent review meeting at CDA Headquarters—chaired by Muhammad Ali Randhawa—focused on expediting development activities and ensuring timely delivery of civic facilities to allottees.

Officials informed the chairman that infrastructure construction has commenced in subsectors 2 and 3 of Sector E-12, while base work, TST, and other major development activities in Sector I-12 have entered their final stages.

The meeting reaffirmed the CDA’s commitment to accelerating housing projects that have remained stalled for years and to fulfilling long-standing promises made to allottees.

Ateeq Sheikh, President of the E-12 Allottees Welfare Association, welcomed the renewed pace but urged for greater speed and consistency.

“It is heartening to see genuine effort in Sector E-12, but there is still much more to be done. We have waited decades for civic services. This progress brings hope, but substantial results are needed to remove residents’ lingering disappointment,” he said.

From Sector I-12, allottee representative Khumar Gul appreciated Chairman Randhawa’s focus on residential sector development.

“The development in I-12 Markaz has gained momentum, which is encouraging. We hope remaining works will be completed swiftly so that possession can be granted with all basic amenities in place,” he stated.

He added that a delegation of I-12 allottees plans to meet the Director General (E&M) to request early installation of underground electricity cables.

Another allottee, Tahir Mahmood, emphasized the need for timely provision of essential utilities before granting possession.

“Water, electricity, and sewerage must be ensured beforehand. A clear timeline for possession is crucial so that allottees can begin construction without further uncertainty,” he remarked.

Allottees from both sectors expressed satisfaction over the CDA’s renewed drive and field activity, describing it as a positive shift that, if sustained, could finally turn decades-old commitments into tangible reality for thousands of waiting families.
