The Capital Development Authority (CDA) decided on Wednesday to install nine more tube-wells in the federal capital to improve water supply to the residents.
The project was expected to be completed at the cost of Rs 18 million.
A CDA official told INP that one tube-well would be installed in each of Sector F-8, I-8 Markaz, Sector I-8/1, Margala Town and Shahzad Town, while four tube-wells would be installed in the National Park area.
