The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has extended its agreement with the Rawalpindi Waste Management Company (RWMC) for continued use of the Losar landfill site.
This decision was made during the fourth CDA Board meeting of 2026, which was held at the CDA Headquarters. The meeting was chaired by Sohail Ashraf, the Chairman of CDA and Chief Commissioner Islamabad.
The meeting discussed several key agenda items, with the extension of the landfill site agreement being a prominent topic. The agreement will allow RWMC to continue utilizing the Losar landfill site for the disposal of solid waste.
The CDA Board also approved the extension of the contract for the transportation and collection of solid waste from the Waste Transfer Station in Islamabad to the Losar dumping site. This arrangement is critical for maintaining waste management operations in the capital.
Chairman CDA, Sohail Ashraf, stressed the importance of developing a scientifically managed landfill site for Islamabad. He directed that work begin on establishing such a facility to address the growing waste disposal needs of the federal capital. Ashraf also emphasized the need for environmental protection in the development of the new landfill site, ensuring that sustainability remains a priority in future waste management strategies.
In addition to the landfill agreement, the CDA Board approved the allotment of additional land in H-11/1 for the expansion of the Jinnah Medical Complex and Research Center.
This will help meet the increasing demand for medical facilities and research infrastructure in the region. The meeting also saw the participation of key members, including Esfandyar Baloch, Zaman Wattoo, Muhammad Umair, Syed Nafasat Raza, and Professor Dr. Muhammad Ali, Vice Chancellor of Punjab University.
