News Desk

Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has launched a comprehensive crackdown across various areas of the federal capital to combat encroachments and illegal construction.

Following the directives of Chairman Captain (R) Anwar ul Haq, the CDA Building Control Directorate, in collaboration with the Enforcement Directorate, local administration and Islamabad Police, executed a stringent operation targeting several locations, including GT Road, T-Chowk, Sohan Ada, and adjacent areas.

During this operation, a total of 14 structures constructed without CDA approval were demolished, and notices were issued to the property owners. The operation resulted in the demolition of multiple commercial buildings found to be in violation of building by-laws.

The crackdown extended to other areas across Islamabad, such as H-12, Pothohar Road, Kuri Road, Park Road, Bari Imam, and Rawal Town. These operations resulted in the use of heavy equipment to remove unauthorised construction.

As part of the campaign to keep Islamabad a city free from encroachments, eight trucks loaded with confiscated goods were also seized from public roads and green belts.

As part of their ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with regulations and enhance the city’s urban landscape, federal authorities have been actively conducting operations against unauthorised encroachments, illegal construction and building by-law violations in Islamabad for several months.
