Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Friday continued with its drive against encroachments on state land, structures built in violation of the building bylaws and unauthorised installations on pathways, according to news sources.
The CDA Enforcement team conducted an operation at Kuri Raod and retrieved several kanals of state land from encroachers. As many as 17 cattle sheds, 12 rooms, 04 sand and crush depots, 02 fruit and vegetable were demolished during the drive.
Moreover, the department executed its operation in the F-11/3, F-11/4, G-9/3, G-9/4, and G-11/3 sectors of the capital city and removed illegally-installed barriers in public spaces.

In a similar attempt, the Building Control Section-I (BCS-I) took action against the building bylaws violators. While teaming up with the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Administration, the Enforcement Directorate and other concerned authorities, the BCS officials sealed non-conforming structures; including a plot – originally allotted for a single-storey in G-10/4, unlawfully divided into four shops.

Furthermore, plots 140 & 141 in sector I-9/3 were sealed, since the authorities had previously prohibited development gigs on these chunks of land. The owners of these properties were given prior notices, but did not comply.
