On the directions of the prime minister, a Committee comprising the Chairman CDA and the famous Architect Nayyer Ali Dada has been constituted which will present its recommendations for bringing into use the building of Citizen Club for the public interest.
It was in 2008 that construction work on the Citizen Club was started but its completion faced delays. The incumbent government completed work on it in 2018.
The Citizen Club spreads over 22 acres with a 265,000 square-foot covered area and was built by the CDA at a cost of over Rs 2 billion.
