Punjab’s PDWP forum accepts eleven development projects. The Punjab Provincial Development Working Party authorized eleven development initiatives totalling Rs. 11,725.31 million in cost.

They accepted the initiatives during the fiscal year 2021-22 meeting of the Provincial Development Working Party (PDWP), presided over by Chairman Planning and Development Board Abdullah Khan Sumbal.

The acquisition of land for the revised Ring Road project enabled. Punjab Planning and Development Board (PPDB) has approved the PC-I worth Rs6.7 billion and given the green light to begin land acquisition for the revised Rawalpindi Ring Road project.

However, the district administration has yet to recoup funds paid to landowners for acquiring land along the old Ring Road route from Radio Pakistan to Murat and Sangjani.

Land worth Rs380 million had been acquired for the Ring Road project in Rawalpindi district but canceled the acquisition following allegations of corruption.

The scandal surfaced after Prime Minister Imran Khan learned of allegations that the Punjab bureaucracy and some PTI politicians planned an additional road to benefit some private housing societies, thereby increasing the project’s actual cost by Rs25 billion.

The district administration has yet to recoup money paid to landowners for the now-canceled route, official reports.

Former Divisional Commissioner retired the Anti-Corruption Establishment detained Capt Mohammad Mehmood for two months following the controversy. Zulfiqar Abbas Bukhari resigned as special assistant to the prime minister.

Commissioner Syed Gulzar Hussain Shah canceled the project’s land acquisition in early August. They would recover the amount paid to landowners to purchase land along the entire length of the illegally advertised alignment in Rawalpindi and Attock districts under Section 48(1) of the Land Acquisition Act 1894.
