To enhance responsiveness, Randhawa announced that on-site offices will be established for the Deputy Commissioner, CDA, and other key officials in sectors currently under development. These local hubs will serve as direct points of contact for residents to address land grievances, submit documentation, and access vital information (zameen.com).
A significant focus of the meeting was addressing illegal encroachments in sectors H-16, C-15, C-16, E-12, and F-13. The CDA chief ordered a decisive crackdown on unauthorized constructions, urging residents with legitimate claims to register their properties promptly at these on-site offices (zameen.com).
Senior officials, including representatives from the Administration, Estate, Engineering, Finance, and Environment wings, DG Works, and Deputy Commissioners of Islamabad and CDA, attended the session. Chairman Randhawa reiterated that all bureaucratic and logistical hurdles delaying progress must be removed without delay (zameen.com).
With this directive-driven approach, CDA aims to transform Islamabad’s development model, making it faster, more transparent, and truly citizen-focused.
