ISLAMABAD, Oct 26 (APP):Capital Development Authority (CDA) Chairman Sohail Ashraf on Monday directed officials to accelerate development work in Sector E-12 and ensure timely completion of approved projects following the recovery of 1,135 kanals of government land after nearly four decades of illegal occupation.
