Capital Development Authority (CDA) to spend Rs50 million to build a helipad link at Prime Minister House.
The Development Working Party (DWP) of the capital’s civic agency has approved the project, titled ‘Construction of approach road from PM House to helipad of presidency’.
The plan involves the construction of a 0.5 km-long, 30-foot wide road from gate 3 of the PMO to the helipad, located adjacent to the President House.
The PM House currently lacks this facility, and the premier used to travel three extra miles from his official residence before boarding the chopper.
The decision was originally taken during the previous PPP government; however, former PM Yousaf Raza Gilani had abandoned the undertaking.
