RAWALPINDI, May 27 (APP):The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has uncovered serious irregularities in its financial records, leading to substantial financial losses to the state exchequer.

Kinza reiterated her commitment to transparency and accountability and added that eradicating corruption and safeguarding the general public’s assets was RDA’s top priority.
