ISLAMABAD: Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has been investigating the Capital Development Authority (CDA) officials allegedly involved in illegal appointments on daily wages in the Authority during the year 2010-12.
The FIA is probing 32 irregular appointments in the Capital Development Authority (CDA) in the light of an inquiry report during the years 2011 and 2012. The CDA had held an investigation into the allegations last year but the employees opposed its findings and demanded a fresh inquiry.
