ISLAMABAD: In order to make the security of foreign embassies in the federal capital Islamabad fool-proof, CDA has started the construction of a new strong security wall on all four sides of the Diplomatic Enclave. This wall is ten feet high and the length is ten kilometers.

So far, six and a half kilometers of the wall have been constructed. The total cost of the project is Rs950 million and it will be completed by December 31.
