Preparations have been finalised to give Islamabad the status of a special administrative unit, sources said. Government sources said a new administrative model has been proposed for the capital.
Mayor-led model proposed for Islamabad administration
Sources said the mayor would be the administrative head under the proposed system. The number of elected representatives for the city is proposed to be between 25 and 30.
The next local government elections in Islamabad will be held under the new system, sources said.
Boundary expansion considered, Gwadar plan dropped
The new administrative plan also includes expanding the city’s geographical limits. Sources said a proposal to bring parts of Haripur and Rawalpindi into Islamabad’s federal territory is under consideration.
A plan to include Gwadar or other ports in the capital’s administrative structure has been relinquished, according to sources.
