HYDERABAD, Aug 29 (APP):The Director General Hyderabad Development Authority (HDA) Fuad Ghaffar Soomro, who is also Deputy Commissioner, has found an Assistant Director of Planning and Development and some other officials guilty of forgery in a plot’s ownership record in an inquiry.
The HDA’s spokesman informed here on Tuesday that the DG himself conducted an inquiry on the complaint of the family of late Nisar Ali Shah, an employee of Pak Army who passed away on July 23.
