CDA Christian employees receive Easter allowance

Payment being made through banks

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority has approved the Easter allowance for all its Christian employees on the occasion of Easter being celebrated today (Sunday).

In light of the board’s decision, the CDA chairperson approved disbursement of the allowance. The CDA finance wing issued a notification in this regard.

The allowance will be retroactively paid from April 1 through respective branches of banks

The allowance as per notification will be paid to non-gazetted employees equal to their running basic salary, and to gazetted employees equal to half of their current basic salary.

It will also be paid to daily wagers, contract and daily paid (muster roll) employees as per their regular pay scales.

It has been further emphasised to the treasury division and relevant accounts officers that release of Easter allowance must be ensured to all serving Christian employees of the authority on time.

Meanwhile, CDA conducted operation on Saturday to obtain possession of vacant land in Park Enclave-II. The operation was carried out in light of the decision taken earlier this week for getting possession of land of Park Enclave -II for launching development activities.

The operation has been started for paving way for early and prompt commencement of development work at stalled project of Park Enclave -II.

During the action, possession of significant area of the project was taken over and alignment of about one kilometer patch of street No. 01 has been earmarked with the help of machinery provided by MPO.

Instructions have been issued to take over possession at earliest so initiation of development works in Park Enclave-II could be ensured by May this year.
