ISLAMABAD: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar on Friday directed the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to make special focus on the construction of vertical buildings for providing houses to maximum people, instead of using valuable agricultural land in the allotment of plots to the employees.

Chairing the meeting of the Federal Cabinet, he also directed to formulate policy in this regard.

The policy of allotment of plots to the CDA employees was presented to the Federal Cabinet in light of the decision of the Islamabad High Court.

According to the decision of the Islamabad High Court, the CDA had to determine the difference in the income of the CDA by giving plots to employees at concessional rates. The cabinet deferred the decision on the proposed allotment policy.
