Islamabad: In a bid to curb encroachments in the federal capital, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has retrieved 700 kanals of its land from the land grabbers in Sector I-12 in the last two days.

Under the directives of CDA Chairman Capt (retd) Anwar ul Haq, the retrieved lands were handed over for rapid developmental projects.

The CDA official stated that heavy machinery was used during the operation, resulting in the demolition of numerous rooms and livestock enclosures.

The CDA Enforcement Directorate has launched the operation in collaboration with various departments near NUST University, Sector I-12, against an illegal Afghan settlement established over an extensive area, informed the official.

Similarly, taking stringent action against encroachments on Simly Dam Road, Karnal Sher Khan Avenue, Maandi Mor Margalla Town Phase-2, and Murree Road, the authorities removed additional sheds and fruit stalls on both sides of the road while clearing public passages. During the operation, six trucks loaded with confiscated goods were seized by the authorities.
