President Dr Arif Alvi has expressed his disappointment with the CDA over its discriminatory actions toward a female employee who was not allotted a residential quarter.

The CDA claimed that it only allots quarters to adult male “dhobis” or washers, as per past practice.

However, the President upheld the orders of Wafaqi Mohtasib, directing the CDA to allot a quarter to the female employee and requesting the CDA to revise its rules to eliminate such discriminatory practices.

The President further urged the CDA to comply with the orders of Wafaqi Mohtasib and redress the grievances of the complainant.

The complainant had alleged that the CDA had allotted the quarter to another employee, despite being senior in the seniority list.

The CDA argued that the quarters had been allotted to adult male working dhobis and had never been allotted to any female washerwoman.

After a review of the records, the President rejected the CDA’s representation and directed it to comply with the orders of Wafaqi Mohtasib.

He emphasized that Pakistan cannot progress if its female members are discriminated against in such a manner.
