CDA Planning Department to send recommendations for auction of salable government land
ISLAMABAD:
The Directorate of Municipal Administration (DMA) has recovered six acres of land belonging to the CDA behind the high security red zone and diplomatic enclave of the federal capital, worth billions of rupees.
According to the CDA, the lands had been illegally occupied for decades and were recovered after a three-month operation during which 19 criminal cases were registered against agents of the influential occupation mafia.
CDA officials further said that in order to protect the six acres of land acquired by the CDA, worth billions of rupees, from any illegal occupation in future, the CDA planning department would send recommendations for auction of salable government land to the CDA Chairman and the Chief Commissioner. Final approval will be given by the CDA Board of Directors.
Narrating the history of the territory, the officials said that in 1981, former President General Zia-ul-Haq ordered the construction of a model village at Nurpur Shahan where a total of 23 residents were allotted plots by the CDA at that time.
CDA officials said orders against encroachments have also been issued by the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
