In a separate initiative, RDA’s crackdown against illegal housing schemes continues, with 548 legal notices, 212 FIRs, and the sealing of 183 offices. Strict actions, including demolitions and FIRs, have been taken against various schemes.
The operation, monitored by DG RDA, Rawalpindi DC, and City Police Officer, targets multiple illegal housing societies, with 129 letters sent to the Cyber Crime Wing for legal action. The ongoing operation remains impartial, and actions against specific schemes, such as Blue World City, Multi Garden, and others, demonstrate the commitment to enforce regulations.
