Degree Verification: CDA issues show cause notices to staff

ISLAMABAD: The CDA has issued show-cause notices to its staffers for their failure to get their academic qualifications verified by the given deadline. Officers who had not gotten their degrees verified have been given three days to submit the required documents in the Administration Wing, otherwise their salaries would be withheld and departmental action would be initiated against them. CDA Administration Member Muhammad Suleman Khan Warraich issued the show-cause notices. CDA Chairman Sheikh Anser Aziz had taken serious notice of the officers who have not yet verified their academic degrees and directed the administration wing to take stern action against them. Degree verification has not been completed despite the passage of three years since the Cabinet Division and Supreme Court directed all government institutions to do the same.
