The meeting has been called by municipal management to address ongoing concerns with the sale of JCC, according to sources. After CDA was paid PKR 1.14 billion, the convention centre on one end of Constitutional Avenue in Islamabad was transferred to the ministry of the interior.
However, the CDA postponed the amended allotment letter owing to the need for a feasibility report on water availability, solid waste management plan, energy and power supply from a grid, traffic effect, and sewage treatment plant, according to the privatisation commission.
