ISLAMABAD, Minister for Interior Sheikh Rashid Ahmad Wednesday said Capital Development Authority (CDA) had fully renovated 200 parks, out of 240, since the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government came into power in August, 2018.
Besides, the civic body was going to establish four ‘historical’ parks and the federal capital would be transformed into a model city, he said while addressing the inaugural ceremony of development projects here.
He said a special female-dedicated ‘Bazaar’ would be set up in the city so that women could play their role in economic development of the country and become
self-reliant in earning their livelihood.
The minister said all police pickets, previously established at different points of the city, had been removed for free movement of motorists, adding “today, there is no picket in Islamabad.”
