ISLAMABAD, April 27: Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration has dropped the idea of plying CNG air conditioned buses in twin cities and declared the plan 'not feasible'.

Talking to the Agency here on Tuesday, the ICT spokesman said, "the district administration, previously, chalked out a plan to ply CNG bus service on different routes of the Capital but project is not feasible and cannot be executed now due to specific management complications".

When asked about specific complications being faced by the district administration, the spokesman was reluctant to give any further details. It may be mentioned that the administration announced two dates, (February 4 and March 12) to launch the service but no practical step was taken to ply the bus service.

An ICT source said the Capital development Authority (CDA) had been conducting survey to assess the possibility of launching Mass Transit Transporting System in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad but they did not submit any report to make the plan possible.

A traffic police official, on the condition of anonymity, said "the plan failed because ICT administration could not reach an agreement with the company offering to start bus service between Rawalpindi and Islamabad".

RECREATIONAL PROJECT: The CDA has decided to start Rawal Dam recreational project to provide a new picnic spot to the residents. According to sources, under the project, the surrounding areas of Rawal Dam will be developed and several recreational facilities will be provided near the lake to make it attractive.
