Islamabad: The development authorities of the twin cities have launched operations against illegal construction in both the cities, a news source reported. Both Capital Development Authority (CDA) and Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) took action in Islamabad and Rawalpindi respectively.
The demolition squad of RDA demolished four illegal markets on Fateh Jang Road, Rawalpindi. RDA teams also sealed 15 houses in a popular housing scheme. The markets and the houses were constructed in violation of Punjab Development of Cities Act 1976 and RDA Building and Zoning Regulations 2007.
Meanwhile, CDA teams from Building Control Section sealed two commercial plazas that were constructed in violation of CDA Building Regulations. Enforcement Directorate staff also took part in the operation.
A plot allotted to the plaza was also cancelled by the civic agency for violation of building parameters – an additional storey had been illegally constructed and the basement was being used for commercial purposes.
