Islamabad: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (PM) on Capital Development Authority (CDA) Affairs Ali Nawaz Awan has issued directions to the civic agency to procure its own tree transplant machine, according to news sources. To this effect, CDA Chairman Amer Ali Ahmad has directed the authority’s development team to ensure that no trees were cut down for construction projects in future.
