Capital development authority

Three is the number of chairmen who headed the authority during a mere period of 12 months. Pursuing the traditional approach which is in vogue in other government departments also, every successive chairman shelved the projects and plans initiated by his predecessor, badly affecting the functioning of the already under-performing civic agency. Financial crunch for the authority, which worsened during 2013 owing to the unrealistic and non-serious approach of city managers, overshadowed persistent civic issues. Consequently, the affected citizens voiced grievances against every chairman who found it even harder to pay off the monthly salaries to over 13000 CDA employees as compared to their predecessor. When it came to projects of public importance such as a decent public transport system, affordable housing, potable water, development of stalled sectors et cetera, the city managers were surprisingly static. On the other hand, citizens who visited CDA offices found officials running from pillar to post to get residential plots allotted to them. The year of 2013 dawned with Syed Tahir Shahbaz holding the office of chairman CDA. Known for his integrity and impartiality among bureaucratic and political circles, Shahbaz was shown the door by former premier Raja Pervaiz Ashraf on his last day at office, before the installation of a caretaker setup prior to general elections 2013. The reason for this was alleged to be Shahbaz’s refusal to allot residential plots to some senior bureaucrats affiliated with the office of the former prime minister. However, the apex court intervened and restored Shahbaz to his post. Shahbaz initiated projects including the re-planning of sector I-15, accelerated work on public transport and Park Enclave. He also initiated a number of inquiries against CDA officers on the recommendations of a judicial commission formed by the Islamabad High Court. However, as the PML-N government was installed at the centre in May 2013, it ousted Shahbaz in the June of same year. A senior bureaucrat, Nadeem Hassan Asif, affiliated with the PML-N was brought in to streamline the messy affairs of the authority.
