KARACHI – The upcoming residential-cum-commercial project of Defence Housing Authority (DHA) on the Karachi-Hyderabad Superhighway – the DHA City Karachi (DCK) – is all set to graduate from the planning stage into development on ground stage after completion of its master plan.

On the occasion, Qureshi announced that the formal ground breaking ceremony of DCK will be held in the third week of February 2012 that will set the pace for development of the first planned, sustainable and green city of Pakistan.
He also gave necessary instructions on the development projects being initiated to make them viable and versatile in nature.
The DHA administrator was informed that the boring work for exploration of groundwater was going on successfully and the results were encouraging as there is abundance of drinking quality underground water in DCK, sufficient to cater for future requirements until 2020.
The DCK is being developed in the backdrop of natural landscaping and there is plenty of wind and sunshine available in the spacious open area of the city for production and development of renewable solar and wind energy. Qureshi was also shown the planned projects of road network, sectors, parks and amenities being developed under the short-term development plan to be completed in three to four years so that people can start living in the area.
