CHITTAGONG, July 18 (BSS): The government has raised manpower of Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) to 519 to improve capacity and service standard.
Ministry of Housing and Public Works has approved recently a reform in the CDA organogram that has dissolved 53 obsolete posts and created 51 new ones to enhance the capacity and efficiency of the organisation.
As per new organogram, some newly created key- posts are Chief Town Planner (post-1), Deputy Chief Town Planner (post-1), Deputy Secretary (post-1), Public Relations Officers (post-1), Assistant Authorised Officers (post-4), Senior Architect (post- 1), Data Entry Operators (post- 4) and GIS Operator (post-3).

CDA was formally started functioning on July 25 in 1959 with 450 kilometres of its area of jurisdiction.
Meanwhile, it has expanded its area of jurisdiction to 1154 kilometres from the previous 450 kilometres following a 20-years master plan in 1995.
But the organisation had to work with old administrative set- up due to lack of an efficient organogram fit to meet the demand of the time.
