Digging work on road sans NOC RDA halts Cantt Board’s project - Salman - 10-13-2012 04:43 PM
Rawalpindi—Damaging a newly constructed road or street under the pretext of laying gas or water pipelines is a common sight in the garrison city, but the authorities concerned never bothered about the waste of the public properties and exchequer.
Taking a pioneer’s step in this regard though, the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has sent an application to the police for legal action against the Cantonment Board for initiating the digging work on the Rashid Minhas Road for laying water pipeline without taking NOC from the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA).
The Rashid Minhas Road was recently carpeted by the RDA at a cost of millions of rupees. The Cantt board started the digging on the road to lay water pipeline the other day without informing the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA).
On getting the information, the RDA stopped the work immediately for not taking advance permission and sent an application to the Civil Lines Police Station for taking compensation money from the Cantt board for damaging the road.
When contacted and asked about the clash between the two administrations, Director General, Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA), Choudhry Naseer Ahmed said that the Cantt board had damaged their road without taking an NOC from the civic authority, therefore it stopped the work immediately.
He however refused to comment on the ap-plication to the police for legal action
