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 bother about the mindless wastage of public money and damaging their properties. Taking a pioneering step in this regard, the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) had 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 a water pipeline without taking a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the RDA. The Rashid Minhas Road was recently carpeted by the RDA at a cost of millions of rupees. The Cantonment board started the digging on the road to lay a water pipeline the other day without informing the RDA about the project. On getting the information, the RDA stopped the work immediately and sent an application to the Civil Lines Police Station demanding compensation money from the Cantonment board for damaging the road.
