Impacts of project implementation on Rimsha Colony

The implementation of this project will have an impact on Rimsha Colony, an informal settlement located in Sector H-9. With approx. 1,400 houses in the area, the CDA will need to relocate the residents to an alternative location. The aim of relocation is to facilitate the construction of the road in that specific area. Moreover, when the CDA tries to evict the residents of Rimsha Colony during development, an unpleasant situation will develop. Therefore, it is the appropriate time to resolve this conflict amicably, he said.

He emphasized the importance of involving the representatives of Rimsha Colony in the decision-making process before proceeding.

Furthermore, the Interior Ministry notified the municipal organization that they would allocate PKR 1,400,000,000 to the 10th Avenue project before the end of the current fiscal year.
