ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority has intensified its anti-encroachment campaign in the federal capital, successfully retrieving more than 900 kanals of valuable state land from illegal occupants during a recent enforcement operation.
Progress of the drive was reviewed in a high-level meeting at CDA Headquarters, chaired by Muhammad Ali Randhawa, Chairman CDA and Chief Commissioner Islamabad. Senior officials from the Authority’s enforcement, planning, environment, and administration wings attended the meeting.
Officials briefed that a focused operation was carried out against land mafia elements in the Diplomatic Enclave and adjoining areas, including the former Muslim Colony. The campaign was conducted in line with orders of the Islamabad High Court, ensuring due legal process. A temporary site office was established on the Chairman’s directives, where officials from the Revenue and Planning Wings reviewed ownership claims and resolved legitimate cases in accordance with the law.
CDA further confirmed that FIRs are being registered against those involved in illegal occupation of state land and misleading citizens through unauthorised constructions. The Enforcement Wing is operating with the full support of the District Administration and Islamabad Police.
Chairman CDA emphasised that all genuine claims would be handled fairly while reaffirming the Authority’s commitment to organised urban planning, protection of state land, and elimination of encroachments across Islamabad.
CDA has appealed to citizens to cooperate with authorities and promptly report any illegal construction or encroachment. The Authority noted that state land worth billions of rupees has been recovered so far as part of these ongoing enforcement efforts.
