Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) requested the Foreign Office (FO) on January 27 to shift embassies and offices of foreign missions from residential areas to Diplomatic Enclave as soon as possible.
According to a news source, the CDA sought the FO’s assistance because it could not take up the matter directly with embassies and other foreign offices. A CDA official told reporters that these offices block roads, which greatly inconveniences citizens. Furthermore, offices cannot operate in residential areas as per the CDA bylaws, he added.
This is the latest step taken by the CDA in its ongoing drive against the irregular use of residential buildings.
