Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has issued 340 notices to the housing societies found involved in carrying out illegal construction activities, a news source reported. The civic body is currently implementing its new building by-laws in different sectors of the capital city, as well as in housing societies that come under its jurisdiction.
The Building Control Section-II of CDA – following instructions of the authority’s management regarding strict execution of the regulations – recently expedited its action against illegally constructed structures in the capital city.
As part of the campaign, it issued 340 notices to approved housing societies situated in Zones 2, 4, and 5; intimating that the construction of unauthorised structures and nonconforming use of properties is a violation of the Islamabad Zoning & Building Regulations 2005.
The constructions in question include 214 commercial and 126 residential structures. According to a CDA spokesperson, implementation of the building by-laws in Islamabad would set a healthy precedent.
Meanwhile, the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration and the Chief Commissioner’s Office have decided to launch a combined cleanliness initiative on Sunday.
