New Blue Area Islamabad: PM Imran Khan announced the launch of the New Blue Area in Islamabad on Sunday 1st March 2020. He further stated in the inauguration ceremony that this area will provide job opportunities for a large population that is working in the construction sector. The government has announced this project in the hope for speeding up the economic process in the country.
The reason for the announcement:
The main reason for the announcement of this project is that the old blue area of Islamabad has been the business hub for the city for a long period of time. Due to the migration of a large population to the capital for better-earning opportunities, this area has become increasingly populated and congested. Therefore the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has acquired nearly 170 canals for this project.
Location of the New Blue Area:
