[Naveed Yaseen]

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) Chairman Imtiaz Inayat Elahi said on Monday that the CDA was making efforts for provision of safe drinking water to people, especially in neglected rural areas and model villages.

According to a press statement, Elahi inaugurated a water supply scheme in Humak Model Village and announced installation of a water filtration plant there.

The water supply scheme for the Humak Model Village, Zimni Sharqi and Gharbi has been completed at a cost of Rs 37.136 million.

The scheme includes seven tube-wells to ensure uninterrupted supply of water to the areas. The CDA chairman said undue attention was paid by successive regimes to some developed sector in the past, creating an imbalance in development of the federal capital.

To remove this disparity, the civic body was now giving special attention to improving infrastructure and provision of basic facilities to the neglected sectors, he said.

He said strict action would be taken against the encroachers.
