CDA suspends two officials

Capital Development Authority (CDA) Friday suspended two officials on account of their acts of misconduct and inefficiency. The officials whose services have been placed under suspension include Shahid Iqbal, Supervisor Enforcement Directorate, and Gul Taj, acting supervisor of the Enforcement Directorate. The officials have been suspended in terms of clause 8.05 of CDA Employees (Service) Regulations, 1992.

The officials have been suspended on their alleged involvement in illegal construction of hotel building in Northern Strip, Sector E-11. These officials neither took any action to stop the construction activity nor generated any report regarding the illegal construction; and thus allegedly facilitated the illegal construction.

Taking notice of the matter, the higher authorities took action and in the first phase placed the services of these officials under suspension while for proper probe in the matter an inquiry has been directed so that action in the light of recommendations of the inquiry committee could be taken against the accused officials.
