ISLAMABAD, Aug 21: The development work in sector D-12 will be restarted within a week and no further compensation would be given to the villagers of Siri Saral and Pind Sangrial, a senior official of Capital Development Authority (CDA) told Dawn on Wednesday.

He said the report of judicial inquiry had been completed and it has no concern with the development work but the CDA stopped the work.

He said the villagers had formed a committee and held two meetings with the CDA officials. The third and last meeting will be held on Friday and after that the development work would be restarted.

“The villagers are unaware of the legal position of the issue and in the next meeting they would be told that the CDA could not pay them more under its rules,” he added. On the other hand, the villagers claimed that some of them had been given alternative land in sector I-14. However, the majority is still waiting for the compensation.
