ISLAMABAD: The Rawal-pindi Development Authority (RDA), which has a large number of private housing societies and housing schemes under its control, is going to get its fourth director general in just five months.
The average stay of every director general during this period has been very brief, a close look at their tenures shows. On every occasion, cases relating to one housing society or the other owned by influential persons became the primary reason for the removal of successive RDA chiefs.
Amara Khan, later appointed the director general of the Peshawar Development Authority, was transferred out as RDA chief on December 15, 2020. Maqbool Ahmad Dhawla, who was serving as the head of the Koh-e-Suleman Development Authority, Dera Ghazi Khan, immediately replaced her. Dhawla was removed after only two months on February 20, 2021. Capt (retd) Abdul Sattar Isani, who replaced him, was transferred two days ago and relinquished his charge on Wednesday. A new RDA chief is being appointed to fill the post.
