ISLAMABAD:
The Capital Development Authority (CDA) Chairman Tahir Shahbaz on Thursday approved an administrative restructuring of the civic agency’s Planning Wing.
According to a notification issued by the CDA’s Directorate of Human Resource Development, the Katchi Abadi Cell, Map and Record Unit and Master Plan Cell directorates and Land Survey Division, Traffic Engineering and Transport Planning divisions have been placed under the administrative control of the civic agency’s Director General (DG) Planning.
In other developments, the Urban Planning, Regional Planning and Housing Society directorates and Industrial Planning Division have been placed under the administrative control of CDA Deputy Director (DDG) Planning.
Both DG and DDG Planning will now be reporting directly to the CDA Member Planning and Design.
In a major reshuffle, Shahbaz also ordered transfers of 10 Planning Wing officers, of which nine serve in BS-18 and one in BS-19.
As per the notification, Director Regional Planning Khaliqueur Rehman has been posted to DDG Planning while maintaining his current responsibilities, and Master Plan Cell Additional Director Tariq Ayub has been posted as Director Housing Societies.
Deputy Director Regional Planning (Zone-IV) Zafar Iqbal Zafar has been posted to Deputy Director Housing Societies, Faraz Malik to Deputy Director Urban Planning-I, and Arshad Chouhan to Master Plan Cell Additional Director.
Ejaz Ahmed Sheikh, Ejazul Hassan, Tauqeer Nawaz, Kiran Saeed, and Abdul Haq Brohi are the others who have been given new postings.
A CDA spokesperson said the changes were driven by a need to end the overbearing influence of certain senior officers and to ensure transparency of the civic agency’s affairs.
