RAWALPINDI: On the directives of Director General RDA, Kinza Murtaza, the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) initiated a project to enhance the city’s aesthetic appeal by constructing a photo gallery along both sides of Mareer Chowk. The project aimed to highlight Rawalpindi’s cultural and historical significance while adding to the city’s urban landscape.
However, the project has suffered an unexpected setback as the Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) unlawfully demolished the gallery. This incident underscores the persistent challenges of administrative coordination and legal jurisdiction between civic bodies, ultimately affecting public resources and urban development.
The RDA strongly condemns this illegal action and remains committed to pursuing all legal avenues to address the situation. The authority also urges improved inter-departmental collaboration between city and cantonment administrations to prevent such conflicts from hindering development projects that directly benefit the public.
RDA reaffirms its commitment to Rawalpindi’s progress and will take all necessary steps to ensure that initiatives aimed at beautifying and modernizing the city are successfully implemented.
