Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has launched a comprehensive operation to curb encroachments in the federal capital, retrieving 750 kanals of its land from the land grabbers in Sectors I-12, 1, 2 and 3 during the last week.

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

A 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, according to 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, around 14 trucks loaded with confiscated goods were seized by the authorities.

In response to building code violations, Building Control North issued notices to the owners of multiple buildings on Pothohar Avenue in University Town. The notices come as part of the authority’s efforts to enforce compliance with building regulations in the area.
