Earlier on Sunday, the federal government renamed 11the Avenue as Iran Avenue. This road has two portions – one from D-12 to E-11 which has been constructed and the remaining seven km from E-11 to Karnal Sher Khan Avenue (formerly I.J. Principal Road) is yet to be constructed. But the entire road has been named as Iran Avenue. President Raisi and Mr Sharif at a function held at the PM Office opened the plaque of Iran Avenue. Sources said the federal government had directed the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to start work on the remaining portion of the road as soon as possible. The engineering wing on Monday decided to take up the matter with the CDA board in its meeting to be held on Tuesday (today) for its approval to hire a consultant.
