The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has imposed a ban on boating in Rawal Lake and ordered removing boats from the lake within a week.
The ban has been imposed owing to the drowning of a woman in the lake following capsizing of boat on Eidul Fitr.
CDA’s Environment Member Sanaullah Aman said that the CDA has taken notice of loss of life due to capsizing of boat in Rawal Lake and boating without taking precautionary measures. Therefore, a ban has been imposed on boating of every kind in the lake.
He said that directives have been issued to the respective department in this regard, adding that an action will be taken against the persons found involved in boating without life jacket and the staff members who show negligence in ensuring safety arrangements.
