The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has demanded over Rs20 million from the federal government to repair different traffic signals that were damaged while carrying out construction work on the Metro Bus Project.

Sources in the civic agency said that the CDA chairman has asked the relevant department to issue tenders to get the damaged traffic signals restored besides preparing a financial plan to seek funds from the federal government.

Almost all signals from IJP Road to Blue Area and up to Secretariat have been damaged during the construction work of the Metro Bus route.

The sources said that the restoration of Jinnah Avenue traffic signal will cost over Rs2.8 million, Ibn-e-Sina signal Rs2.67 million and Expressway Chowk traffic signal will cost Rs2.38 million.

According to the sources, the civic agency was facing shortage of funds to repair the damaged signals by its own and it has been decided to approach the federal government to release funds to finish work on them before the inauguration of the Metro Bus Service

The sources further said that piles of dug-up dirt and mud that has strewn along several roads in the federal capital have also not been removed, by neither the CDA nor the RDA.

The sources said that it seems that both the agencies have surreptitiously ignored the heaps and are looking at each other to see who disposes of it. Another official of the CDA said on the condition of anonymity that both the civic agencies will not lift the piles of rubble, dirt and mud along the Metro Bus route, especially in the Islamabad section, unless federal and provincial government take notice of the issue and hold the responsible accountable.
