Two CDA officials suspended after German envoy’s tweet on Islamabad trash

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Tuesday suspended two officials after the German Ambassador to Pakistan Martin Kobler tweeted a picture of garbage in the capital.

Director Sanitation sprung into action and suspended the supervisor and inspector after the tweet by Kobler, who has grown popular on Pakistani twitter sphere due to his mostly positive tweets about the country’s culture and people.

“Saw beautiful scenery while passing through roads on Islamabad but also saw heaps of garbage at various places, like in F7/4 Street 56,” he tweeted in Urdu.

سڑک سے گزرتے ہوے Islamabad# میں جہاں خوبصورت جگہ نظر آتی ہے وہیں جابجا کوڑے کے ڈھیر بھی جیسے کہ F7/4 گلی 56میں۔ ٹھوس کوڑا اس طرح سے ہر جگہ نہیں پھینکا جاسکتا۔یہ ڈینگی اور دیگر مضرِ صحت اثرات کا سبب بنتا ہے! کیا کیا جاسکتا ہے؟ pic.twitter.com/5JimvTefth
