The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is taking steps to provide cleanliness services in the previously neglected rural areas of Islamabad.
This marks the first time that the CDA has outsourced cleanliness services in these unattended areas, aiming to enhance the quality of sanitation services. The initiative will cover slums, densely populated suburban areas, and rural regions of the city.
To ensure an effective and efficient cleanliness system, the unattended areas have been divided into two packages. Package-I includes 36 areas with an estimated population of around 200,000.
These areas consist of Muslim Colony (Bari Imam), Nurpur Shahan, Malpur, Shahdara, Mandla, Kot Hathial (entire), Rakh Bani Gala, Lakhawal, Phulgaran, Ghorabaz, Tumair, Lehtrar Road, and others.

The total population residing in these areas is approximately 260,000.
