MNA-led body discusses reasons why good quality lifts replaced by CDA

A sub-committee headed by MNA Rasheed Ahmed Khan on Thursday discussed the reasons why Capital Development Authority (CDA) replaced good quality lifts with substandard ones in the Parliament House. The committee was informed regarding implementation status on its recommendations for resolving outstanding issues of the CDA.
The committee expressed concern that the CDA is still unable to compensate the affectees of nurseries as well as sector E-12. The subcommittee directed the CDA to provide alternative land to the affected owners of nurseries and resolve other issues in consultation with the representatives of Islamabad Nurseries Welfare Association (INWA).
The Enforcement Directorate of CDA had launched an operation against the nurseries operating with cancelled leases. Seven nurseries were demolished at Chak Shahzad. As many as 23 plots were leased out for the nurseries at Chak Shahzad and later, all the 23 leases and licences of these plots were cancelled after the approval of the policy for their disposal by a CDA board in its decision taken on October 31, 2011.
However, the nursery owners managed to get a stay order from the court so the authority could not take action against them. The tenants had in most of the cases violated the terms and conditions of their allotments or lease agreements which was why they wanted to avoid putting in a request for extension, while the CDA was also not taking the issue seriously.
