The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has decided to step up its campaign against illegal housing societies and unauthorized constructions in Islamabad, warning that strict action will be taken against violators.
\nThe decision was made during a high-level meeting chaired by CDA Chairman and Chief Commissioner Muhammad Ali Randhawa on Saturday.
\nChairman Randhawa made it clear that the Authority would show \u201cno leniency towards violators\u201d and that operations to remove encroachments and demolish illegal structures would continue without interruption.
\n\u201cThe protection of Islamabad\u2019s planned development is a top priority,\u201d he said, emphasizing the need to safeguard public land from unregulated construction.
\nThe mushroom growth of unauthorized housing societies has long been a challenge in the federal capital, often resulting in disputes over land ownership, poor infrastructure, and environmental degradation.
\nThe CDA has previously launched multiple operations against such schemes but is now moving to intensify monitoring and enforcement.
\nWhile the crackdown remained a central focus, the meeting also reviewed other development priorities.
\nPlans to expand green zones and convert the CDA nursery into a \u201cGardenia Hub\u201d were discussed as part of wider beautification efforts.
\nOfficials also approved a comprehensive water supply improvement strategy, including the rehabilitation of pipelines and conservation of underground reserves.
\nEnvironmental protection was highlighted through a citywide tree plantation campaign, with CDA committing to plant trees in parks and public spaces where long-term care can be ensured.
\nChairman Randhawa concluded the meeting by urging citizens to cooperate with the Authority. \u201cWe are committed to making Islamabad a clean, beautiful, and well-developed city, but public support is essential in achieving this,\u201d he added.
\nThe meeting, held at CDA headquarters, was attended by senior officials, including Member Admin and Estate Talat Mahmood, Member Finance Tahir Naeem, Member Engineering Syed Nafasat Raza, Member Planning Dr Khalid Hafiz, and Member Environment Esfandyar Baloch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
