ISLAMABAD: The Estate Management Directorate of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has been directed to take immediate measures to dispose of public complaints promptly.

It was pointed out that delay in holding of allotment scrutiny committee (ASC) meetings has caused inconvenience to the public and resulted in corruption.

To streamline the matters, Director-General Land Management Nadim Abro was directed to upload data about ASCs deliberations on computer in a week time to get accessible to it through Internet.
