Indiscriminate Anti-Encroachment Drive Continues in Islamabad

A large-scale anti-encroachment operation is ongoing in Islamabad, carried out without discrimination under the supervision of Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi.
During the operation, an FC camp office established on a green belt near Merit and Ayub Chowk was also demolished, reflecting the government’s across-the-board approach to clearing illegal structures.
Speaking on the occasion, the interior minister reaffirmed that the crackdown against encroachments in Islamabad would continue without exception. He emphasized that illegal constructions and encroachments are being removed without yielding to any pressure.
Naqvi further stated that an alternative lawful site would be provided for the Frontier Corps (FC) camp office, ensuring that operational requirements are met within legal frameworks.
Reiterating the government’s firm stance, he said there is a zero-tolerance policy against encroachments and land-grabbing mafias. “No public or private entity will be allowed to construct or occupy government land illegally,” he asserted.
The minister added that restoring Islamabad to its original state and completely eliminating encroachments remain top priorities.
The Chairman of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) was also present during the operation.
