The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is preparing to spend approximately Rs. 4.9 crore on the renovation and maintenance of a federal minister’s residence located in Islamabad’s Ministers’ Enclave. The extensive upgrade project includes civil works, electrical improvements, and plumbing repairs.
According to the detailed project breakdown, Rs. 1.5 crore is allocated for civil works such as repairs, paint, and structural fixes. Around Rs. 1.2 crore will be spent on electrical upgrades including new fixtures, rewiring, and backup power systems. Plumbing and sanitary work will cost nearly Rs. 80 lakh. The remaining amount is reserved for furnishing, external works, and miscellaneous repairs.
This high-cost maintenance has sparked public criticism, especially considering the economic constraints and budgetary pressures the country is currently facing. Many citizens have raised questions about such heavy spending on official residences when funds are urgently needed for public welfare projects.
CDA has planned a Rs. 4.9 crore renovation of a federal minister’s house in Islamabad, covering civil, electrical, and plumbing works. The move has drawn public backlash amid Pakistan’s economic challenges, with concerns about prioritizing official luxuries over essential public spending.
