Member Administration and Estate, Capital Development Authority (CDA), Amer Ali Ahmed on Sunday said that CDA would not only ensure the provision of quality vegetables, fruits and other edible items of daily usage at CDA's weekly bazaars but also ensure the excess availability of these items.
He directed the CDA's weekly bazaar administration to ensure supply items at prescribed affordable rates, says a press release issued here. Amer Ali said this while chairing a meeting held at CDA headquarters to assess the demand and supply of daily use items being provided at CDA's weekly bazaars. The meeting was attended by the Director Security and other relevant officers of the Authority.
