Rift emerged between Mayor Islamabad, CDA chief over DMA director post

ISLAMABAD: A rift has emerged between newly appointed Islamabad Mayor Pir Adil Shah and Chairman CDA Amir Ali Ahmed over the vacant position of Directorate of Municipal Administration’s (DMA) director.

Sources have revealed that newly appointed Mayor Islamabad appointed Amir Shehzad, as the Directorate of Municipal Administration’s (DMA) director, replacing Capt (retd) Ali Asghar Ahmed.
