Subject:- MASTER PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ROADS IN

CHOLISTAN AREA DURING NEXT 05 YEARS W.E.F. 01.04.2009

In short duration, CDA has compiled basic data and also prepared outlines
for master plan on roads. It can be further improved as under:-
1. Vision
Vision is there but it can further be broadened and improved. CDA may
take into account ecological and environmental impact of proposed
programme.
2. Tourism
Tourism impact needs to be reviewed.
3. Impact on Livestock
How construction will effect livestock, industry (All positive and negative
repercussions needs to be analyzed).
4. Traffic Count
Can CDA justify the investment on needs without analyzing traffic data?
Traffic survey of existing road network may provide us base to develop
precise vision. So existing traffic on constructed roads and expected roads
to be constructed may be included in study.
5. Stakeholders views
How local inhabitants of Cholistan feel about this programme and
subsequent changes in their life.
6. Tentative Physical and Financial Phasing
Tentative Physical and Financial Phasing also to be worked out. (May be
five years plan)
7. Maintenance of roads
Maintenance of roads is also important. How proposed paraphernalia and
its maintenance will cost to government is it manageable what changes in
set up needed.
Recommendations
i. Taking into account above observations CDA may be advised to improve
this document to make it presentable to CM.
ii. It can utilize staff of Mini Highway Division of BRDP and produce this
document within two weeks.
iii. After receipt of the same, summary may be initiated to CM for approval of
that programme.

Comments

1. Cost proposed for item No.6 and 7 seems to be

superfluous as CDA can provide these facilities from its
present set up
2. Thus Managing Director, CDA may be requested to
furnish his comments.
 3. In Annexure-I and II, profile of ADP has been
incorporated by the expert which seems to be superfluous
work. In fact he was supposed to comment on the outcome
of these activities, which have not been made available in

4. TOR,s of the each consultant have also been made
available which may be further improved and we can send
these TORs and this document to Chief (Consultancy) and
