ISLAMABAD:
The federal government has transferred Capital Development Authority (CDA) Chairman Maroof Afzal and Secretary, on Monday.
Capital Administration and Development Division (CADD) Secretary Hassan Iqbal has been given additional charge of Chairmanship of the CDA for three supplementary months.
Maroof Afzal, a BS-21 officer of Pakistan Administrative Services, has been posted as additional secretary of the Establishment Division.
Afzal was the 29th chairman of the CDA and had been appointed by the civic body as chairman, in December 2013.
He retained the post for more than two-years and eight-months.
Previously, Afzal had served as the National Highway Authority (NHA) chairman.
It is pertinent to mention that before him, the last three chairmen did not retain the post for more than ten months each.
When the PML-N came into power after the 2013 general elections, Tahir Shahbaz was holding the office of the CDA chairman.
Shahbaz was removed from the position on June 21, 2013, and was subsequently replaced by a grade-21 officer, Nadeem Hassan Asif, who served in the authority until December 7, 2013, when he was appointed as secretary to the president.
