ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) Board on Saturday approved a proposal of swapping 327 acres between the civic agency and Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) in the Margalla Hills National Park (MHNP) Area.
A board member told Dawn that 327 acres of the national park area fell in alignment of the under-construction Margalla Road and partially in CDA’s C-14 and C-15 sectors.
The member said the alignment of road sectors were part of Islamabad’s master plan developed in the 1960s.
