New ARMY GHQ under construction in Islamabad


Reports from Islamabad say that Pakistan Army has already started construction on a pre-planned new complex for its General Headquarters in Islamabad. It is important to note that Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Prevez Kayani had recently stated that the Army will delay construction due to some financial limitations. Responding to questions on Monday, senior Capital Development Authority (CDA) officials told the National Assembly Standing Committee on Environment that the construction had partially begun on the site that the army had acquired from the CDA.

Pakistan Army has begun construction on a new complex for its General Headquarters (GHQ) in Islamabad.
Officials said that the CDA has allocated 726 acres of land in sectors E-10 and D-11 and 50 acres in these sectors’ catchment area. They said that the CDA has so far received Rs 504 million from GHQ out of a total of Rs703.69 million, and the last payment came through a year ago. Meanwhile, committee members expressed concern over environmental degradation in the area which had been allocated for the National Park and directed that illegal and unplanned construction be stopped immediately.
In our opinion, the initiation of construction despite unavailability of required funds is a clear cut signal to the United Terrorists of Zionism from Pakistan Army that Islamabad belongs to Pakistan.
