ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Nov, 2019 ) :Capital Development Authority (CDA) has reserved over 105.5 acers land for establishment of four graveyards in rural areas of the city.
To meet the burial requirements of rural area population, graveyards would be established in Humak Model Town, National Park Area, Ali Pur Farsh and Lakhwal area.

In order to sort this issue, CDA management took up the matter and directed the Planning Wing to carry out an exercise in manner that the whole rural area of the city could be covered.
In this context, four sites were identified for establishing grave yard, after thorough exercise a consolidated case was placed before CDA board during its meeting last month which was subsequently approved.
The reserved sites include 100 kanal in Bharakahu, 342 Kanals in Kuri, 50 kanals in Humak, 90 kanals in Ali Pur Farash and 258 kanals in Mouza Lakhwal.
These graveyards would be developed on the pattern of the municipal graveyards developed for meeting burial requirements of population residing in the sectorial area of Islamabad.
