CDA Sector C-14 Work 92% Complete, Plots Soon
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has completed around 92 per cent of the basic infrastructure work in Islamabad’s Sector C-14, and arrangements for electricity supply are also nearing completion. ProPakistani reported that CDA Chairman Sohail Ashraf visited the sector on November 10 to review progress, and directed officers to finish the remaining work on a priority basis so allottees receive possession of their plots without further delay.
Sector C-14 is one of the capital’s newer sectors. The latest update suggests the development work is near its end, with the main civic works largely done and power supply close behind.
Sector C-14: what is done and what remains
During the visit, Ashraf was briefed that the installation of streetlights along the main roads had been completed. Signboards were being installed across roads and streets, while landscaping and horticulture work was also under way in the sector.
The remaining work is now the focus. Electricity supply arrangements are in their final stages, and the chairman told officers to complete what is left on a priority basis. He also instructed officials to monitor development projects in new sectors regularly and to resolve issues promptly.
Chairman orders possession without delay
Ashraf, who also serves as Islamabad’s chief commissioner, said the development of new sectors was among the top priorities of the CDA administration. He added that work on new sectors had accelerated after several decades, and that possession of developed plots had started being handed over to allottees.
The message to officers was direct: finish the remaining work quickly, and make sure allottees get their plots without further delay. For families holding allotments in C-14, possession is the step that turns a paper allocation into a place where they can build.
Allottees should now watch for the possession announcement from the CDA, which usually follows the completion of basic works and the power connection. Until the authority issues that notice, no construction can begin on the plots. The chairman’s instruction to finish on a priority basis suggests the announcement is close, but the authority has not given a date.
What it means for allottees
Possession matters because it is the step that starts everything else. An allottee who holds possession can start construction, apply for utility connections and plan a move. Until then, the plot is only a file number, however much of the surrounding work is complete.
C-14 is further along than some of its neighbours. Work in Sector E-12 is 60 per cent complete, CDA said earlier, which puts C-14 well ahead on the same measure. The pace of new-sector work has become a test for the authority, and a joint investigation team has sought an independent body to run the Islamabad master plan.
The CDA has also been working on the capital’s daily services alongside new-sector development. It has reorganised waste collection across Islamabad’s zones, and the Margalla Avenue extension is another of its projects in the capital. In the health sector, a new hospital in Islamabad now offers free round-the-clock emergency care. For C-14 allottees, the next step is a firm possession date, and the chairman’s visit suggests it should come soon.
