ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has beefed up security in its secretariat owing to the prevailing law and order situation and terrorist threats.
The CDA’s Director Security Abdur Razzaq Kiani on Tuesday said the authority had tightened the security. Several measures were being taken in this regard to protect the life and property of the people, he said.
He added that the automatic road-blocker was being installed at the main gate, where every vehicle would be searched. He said no vehicle would be allowed inside the building, including the CDA staff, except the board members and journalists covering the CDA activities.
Kiani said the authority had issued registration forms for journalists, who would be issued special stickers for their vehicles, so that their vehicle might be allowed on the CDA premises. He said one of the CDA’s parking had already been closed permanently and all the vehicles would be parked in the parking area outside the CDA headquarters.
The director security said all the CDA employees had been directed to display their office identity cards, so that the security staff might identify them. Besides, all the visitors of the Executive Block would be thoroughly checked and would have to get their names registered with the security staff, he said, adding that the visitor would also inform whom he or she would be going to see. He said concrete blocks had already been placed on the road leading to the CDA Secretariat as a security measure and to restrict entry of vehicles.
