The chairman and board members of Capital Development Authority (CDA) reviewed anti-encroachment drive of the civic agency on Tuesday and instructions were passed to expedite the activity. The DG (works) was tasked to ensure that violations of right of ways should be cleared within 48 hours, says a press release issued here.
In this context major roads such as Margalla Road, Nazimuddin Road and IJP Road should be cleared of encroachments immediately. Anti-encroachment drive on Rawat GT Road as well as in Tarnol area should also be executed expeditiously, said the chairman CDA. Similarly violations outside plot lines are to be removed as well and in this context people have been issued public notices repeatedly. If any violation persists, the same may be either removed by occupant themselves or CDA will remove the same.
The CDA will continue the anti-encroachment operations at Margalla foothills as well as other part of Islamabad. In this regard, Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) under the Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad (MCI) is being informed to withdraw any permission issued without prior approvals of CDA's Planning Wing, as the same would be considered without legal standing.
The CDA on Tuesday in an operation demolished constructions and encroachments made by the management of the Centuras Mall and have cleared the Right of Way. Moreover, penalty for illegally using the government land is also being levied on the project.
