Capital Development Authority (CDA) Board has approved a full refund of processing fees for overseas Pakistanis who invested in the Nilore Heights Housing Project.
CDA held its 15th board meeting headed by Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa, where several crucial decisions were made. The decisions focused on supporting overseas Pakistanis, affected residents of Islamabad, and CDA staff members.
The Board decided that plots in Sector C-14 would be allocated through balloting, prioritizing overseas Pakistanis. The CDA Board also addressed long-standing concerns of Islamabad’s affected residents by forming a seven-member committee to scrutinize their cases.
A third-party validation committee was approved to review the findings, ensuring fair rehabilitation benefits for the affected. A committee comprising the Member Administration and the Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad was established to amend CDA’s land acquisition regulations.
Additionally, the board directed the law wing to develop recommendations for establishing and restoring covered markets within the city. Further, the CDA Board appointed a new legal advisor, stipulating that no former CDA legal advisor would represent cases against the authority within one year of leaving the role.
For CDA staff, the board approved a promotion path for Park Managers and Assistant Park Managers within the Environment Wing. Physical training instructors employed by CDA were also upgraded to Grade 16, aligning their status with federal institutions.
