ISLAMABAD, April 11: A serving brigadier of the engineering corps has been appointed as member (engineering) in the Capital Development Authority (CDA) on secondment basis by the Establishment Division.

Following the appointment of Brig Ghulam Haider Bukhari as member engineering, all efforts made by some CDA officials to get the slot had failed, sources in the CDA said.

A source in the Establishment Division told Dawn that Brig Bukhari was unhappy on his appointment as he wanted to be posted as general manager in Wapda. He said earlier General Headquarters (GHQ) had sent a summary to the Establishment Division regarding posting of the army official as member CDA. However, another summary was sent to the Establishment Division in which posting of Brig Bukhari was proposed in Wapda.

However, the Establishment Division had turned down the second proposal and sent the first summary to the Prime Minister Secretariat in which the official was proposed to be transferred as member engineering in the CDA.

The source said the Establishment Division had proposed three years service of the army official in the authority. However, the prime minister had appointed him as member engineering for two years.

The CDA source said some officials in the authority, including the director-general services, Moiuddin Jamili, deputy director-general works, Jehanzeb Khan, and director works, Anjum Malik, had been eying the slot of member engineering.

These officials had used their contacts in the Prime Minister Secretariat and the interior ministry to become member engineering.

In another notification, an official of police group BS-17, Sher Akbar, who was working with the security staff of Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali, had been sent to the NWFP police.
