Rawalpindi divisional administration ordered utility service providers to secure road-cutting permission and a no-objection certificate prior to beginning any development projects that require road excavation.
Commissioner Rawalpindi Salman Ghani gave this instruction during a session evaluating road-cutting permissions along with the placement and upkeep of underground utility lines by state entities.
Frequent digging in city zones causes trouble for citizens, interrupts traffic flow, and burns through public money, according to him. He instructed all concerned agencies and providers to align their schedules and exchange details about future projects so newly paved roads avoid being dug up.
Ghani stated that cutting roads should remain a final option, pushing groups to apply substitutes like thrust boring and ducting whenever feasible. He additionally mandated that any street harmed during permitted labor needs a return to its initial condition, with backfilling and rebuilding finished inside 15 days.
The administration cleared PTCL for an NOC to conduct operations in Shah Khalid Colony Phase II during the session, setting a two-day finish timeline.
The Water and Sanitation Agency additionally gained approval to install a 12-inch sewer line close to Al-Khidmat Al-Razi Children's Hospital. Workers must finish this job inside seven days, while keeping an alternate traffic path open throughout the construction period.
