ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is upgrading security infrastructure and public facilities at the Diplomatic Enclave, including the installation of a modern security system, construction of cycling and walking tracks and rehabilitation of roads.
CDA Chairman and Chief Commissioner Islamabad Sohail Ashraf visited the Diplomatic Enclave on Thursday to review the progress of ongoing development, repair and upgradation works. Officials briefed him that a modern smart security system, an under-vehicle inspection system and security barriers had been installed at Gate No. 2 to strengthen security arrangements at the entrance.
The renovation of the enclave’s boundary wall has also been completed, while carpeting of deteriorated roads is underway and expected to be completed shortly.
The authority is also constructing cycling and walking tracks, approximately 10 feet wide, to facilitate the diplomatic community and residents and provide recreational opportunities. Landscaping and horticultural work is progressing alongside the installation of modern streetlights to improve the area’s overall appearance and infrastructure.
Sohail Ashraf directed the relevant officials to complete the ongoing projects at the earliest while ensuring quality standards. He said all available resources were being utilised to bring the Diplomatic Enclave in line with modern standards and improve facilities for the diplomatic community and residents.
