ISLAMABAD, Nov 25 (APP):Chairman Capital Development Authority (CDA) and Chief Commissioner Islamabad, Muhammad Ali Randhawa, held a meeting with Chairman SUPARCO, Muhammad Yousaf Khan, on Tuesday to explore avenues of cooperation in satellite-based monitoring, drone technology, and educational collaboration.
