RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has launched a large-scale crackdown against illegal housing schemes and unauthorized constructions on the instructions of its Director General, Kinza Murtaza.
During the operation, the Task Force targeted several unapproved projects. At Islamabad City Housing in Katarian, near Shinwari Hotel on Main Airport Avenue, officials demolished the boundary wall, removed manhole pipes, sealed the site office, and lodged an FIR against the scheme’s owners, Qasim Bhatti and Nasir Bhatti.
At Waddia Homes in Mouza Morgha near Askari 14, the boundary wall, guard room, main gate, and barrier were demolished, while in Wazir Town Housing Scheme, 40 illegally under-construction shops in commercial markets were taken down.
An RDA spokesperson said the drive, supervised directly by DG Kinza Murtaza, will continue to curb fraudulent schemes and protect citizens from exploitation. She stressed that strict action will be taken against land grabbers and owners of illegal projects.
The authority also advised the public to avoid investing in unauthorized housing societies and to verify approvals through the official RDA website before making transactions.
