Islamabad, Sep 24: In line with the directions of Chairman CDA Muhammad Ali Randhawa, CDA has intensified its operations across Islamabad to eliminate illegal constructions and encroachments. This comprehensive drive is part of the authority’s ongoing efforts to ensure strict compliance with building bylaws and reclaim government land from illegal occupants.
In a series of operations led by the CDA’s Enforcement Wing, in collaboration with the Building Control, District Administration, and Islamabad police, several illegal structures were targeted in Zone II, specifically in sectors G-15 and F-15. A total of 26 buildings 23 in G-15 and 3 in F-15 were sealed for violations of building bylaws, and notices were issued to the owners.
In Zone V, another significant operation was carried out at Jinnah Housing Society, resulting in the demolition of various illegal establishments. These included 8 construction material shops, 5 shuttering depots, 4 junkyards, 12 fruit and vegetable stalls, 5 roadside hotels, 4 property offices, 8 chicken shops, 4 tuck shops, and a service station. The successful demolition of these structures with the aid of heavy machinery enabled the CDA to reclaim valuable government land.
Further action was taken in sectors I-8, I-9, and I-10, where 9 illegal roadside hotels were demolished, leading to additional land recovery for the government. These operations are part of the CDA’s larger mandate to uphold the city’s building regulations without discrimination.
In recent months, these concerted efforts have resulted in the recovery of government land worth billions of rupees. The CDA remains committed to ensuring Islamabad’s urban landscape adheres to approved regulations and plans, protecting both the city’s infrastructure and its residents.
