Federal Ombudsman Salman Farooqui said on Thursday that the Capital Development Authority (CDA)’s reconstitution was imperative to improve its performance.
Addressing a ceremony at the Planning Commission Farooqui said that he could take his time making decisions as there was still time in the CDA chairman’s appointment.
He said that the federal ombudsman disposed of 59,000 cases in the last four months, adding that the remaining complaints would be disposed of within two months.
Farooqui said that all should take pride in Islamabad, but further development in the city was needed. He said the CDA chairman should be appointed for a specific period so that he could work fearlessly without pressure of removal.
He said that the CDA’s land record should be computerised. He added that bypass roads in Islamabad and alternative traffic arrangements were also needed.
Farooqui held that the Planning Commission was responsible for approving funds and for planning uplift schemes.
