CDA Seals Offices of a Renowned Housing Society in Islamabad

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has sealed the offices of all phases of Ghouri Town, an illegal and unauthorized housing scheme in Islamabad’s Zone 4.

According to details, CDA’s Director Regional Planning, Planning Wing, had issued a notification earlier this week, directing DC Islamabad and SHO Koral Police Station to seal the offices of the illicit housing society.

Taking action on the notification, CDA’s Enforcement Wing along with Islamabad’s District Administration and ICT Police sealed the offices of Ghouri Town on Thursday.

CDA deems Ghouri Town as an illegal housing scheme because it has been developed in serious violations of a number of laws including CDA Ordinance 1960, ICT Zoning Regulations 1992, and ICT Building Control Regulations 2020.

Meanwhile, media reports have claimed that through a public notice, the CDA has ordered the management, sellers, builders, developers, advertisers, promoters, and estate agents to stop buying and selling in all phases of Ghouri Town.

The CDA has also approached PTCL, IESCO, and SNGPL to stop issuing new landline/internet, electricity, and gas connections in all phases of Ghouri Town.

Notices Served to Illegal Housing Schemes

In a similar development, the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has issued notices to a dozen illegal housing societies in the Rawalpindi district.

RDA’s Metropolitan Planning and Traffic Engineering (MPTE) Directorate has issued notices to New Metro City, Smart City, Prism Town, Capital Valley, Life Residencia, Seven Enclave, Manan City, Lake View City, Faha Fatima, Park Zameen Town, Hawks Melbourne City, and Kashmir Valley.

The notices have been issued under the Punjab Private Housing Schemes and Land Subdivision Rules 2010. The RDA has asked these societies to submit mortgage deeds, deeds of surrender, and NOCs. Otherwise, legal action will be initiated against them.


  • Are these authorities sleeping when these societies advertising and selling the land? There should be action taken against the CDA officers as well for acting so late.

    • Initially they keep their eyes shut. Allow societies and dealers to play and later this.
      There are several other housing societies and dealers/ agents who have robbed people of millions through sale of so called files.. And societies never got launched. #RDA #CDA

    • Yes ,
      💯 % agree with this statements.

    • Although one would say “better late than never” but this time, it’s the hard earned saving of people on the stake.
      People desperate for their own home saved a lot of money to own a house and now they are paying for this.

      Both the city development authorities and the investors are the culprits here.

  • CDA and RDA also need to act against the likes of Star Enclace who sold files over a year back and disappeared later after selling thousands of files.
    Dealerships are equally involved in these scans as they sell on behalf of such societies minting their commissions and ‘top’ money and then leave the eventual buyers in wilderness to trace their hard earned money.

  • This very strange that CDA declared Ghauri town as illegal after 3o years . where thousands of commercial and residentia buildings were erected by the people . Where was the planning department of CDA when the development was initiated and the constructions was started. Were they sleeping or Ghauri town was developed beneath the surface.This whole responsibility of looses being faced by stake holders were because of the officers performing duties at that time. The question is that who will compensate those people who invested millions rupees in residential and commercial constructions.

  • Jitna fraud DHA ne awam k sath kiya ha ye sub socities us k age kuch b nai. Money robbed in DHA Valley and DHA pahse 2 extension has no match with any society and the worst thing is they are not answerable to any authority as they have their own authority to rob poor public.

    • Also in DHA homes Islamabad. DHA took huge amount from the residents twice! People who did complete payment of houses tem, eight years ago were forced to pay again! As they never completed project on time. Later claimed that construction priced have gone up. God knows when will we see day when DHA authorities will be behind bars..

      • The responsible will get promoted. No one will ever get behind bars. We will, of course go into our graves.

  • CDA bahria town park view city Islamabad model town jo jo achi or bari society hain unpy koi action nahi leta na commissioner ko pata hota hai na he koi law system hai yahan bs middle class awam ko bewakof banaty hain sab mil kar humare paison se paise bana kar humain phir offer karty hain society walay ky jee CDA to 3.5 marla offered nahi kar raha hai to hum kaha se dain jab 3.5 marla nahi dena tha to booking to phir fraud hue na phir humare paise 2saal rakh kar to 10% lelo to 20% lelo py offered karty hai kash ky humare country main ya nezam sahi ho jaye to sab sakoon se extra tax be dekar country ka karza otaray…

  • ہمارے متعلقہ محکمے ہمیشہ تاخیر کا مظاہرہ کیوں کرتے ہیں ، آخر اس میں ان کا کیا مفاد ہے ۔
    جناح گارڈن ، سواں گارڈن اور بہت سی اورسوسائٹیز ایسی ہیں جو 20 20 سال گزرنے کے باوجود آلاتی کو زمین فراہم نہیں کر سکیں ۔اور تو اور انتظامیہ مختلف ادوار میں سوسائٹیز کے قبرستان سڑکوں کو بھی پلاٹ بنا کر بیچنے کے بعد بیرون ملک فرار ہو گئی ۔کچھ پکڑے گئے اور کچھ شکلیں بدل کر ابھی بھی فرعون بنے بیٹھے ہیں۔ بہت سے لوگ تو اب قبروں میں جا سوئے وارث اس انتظار میں دن کاٹ رہے ہیں کہ شاید اب کچھ ہو اور وہ سرچھپانے کا آسرا کر سکیں ۔
    کیا حکام اس طرف بھی نظر کرم فرمائیں گے

  • Murree Garden was also a big fraud. Do anybody knows their current office location?

  • CDA was sleeping for 20 years. Now they says it is illegal. What is mistake of people who built houses after spending their lifetime savings and now they are not able to get gas electricity etc connection. CDA TAKE ACTION AGIANST SOCIETY NOT AGAINST THE POOR PEOPLE. SUPREME COURT MUST TAKE NOTICE OF THIS .

  • Please O plead to government to maje better policies. Initially when these societies are doing this bullshot, where were all of you sleeping? At that time you people kept your mouth shut and approved every illegal thing by taking bribe. And now suddenly you remembered the laws. Who is gonna think about the innocent public and those hard earners who barely save some money by sacrificing their wishes and invest their life savings so as to secure a better future or to have a roof over thir heads. These govt. Officers and their selfishness has dstroyed lives of thousands of people. But never forget Allah is watching every deed and they’ll be accountable for not fulfilling their duties wisely

  • CDA & RDA ko aapny Ex Officers ko b ban plus punishment dyni chay… jinnah garden , capital enclave , khanna , lehtrar or is k sath sath kafi areas b illegal constructed hain…

  • It’s really disgusting because Ghori town owner has been died and his family is millionaire they have no stake yet but people who hardly purchased plot and house there are suffering now. It’s all fault of CDA and corrupt management of CDA. CDA is totally responsible for that and before declaring illegal CDA should give alternative plots and house to residents of Ghori Town.

  • Ak bat samjh nahi ati jab sab kuch ban jata hay to phir departments action main q atay han, jab housing scheme ban rahi thi to us time sab soo rahay thy. CDA ka apna office seal karna chahy en logon nay housing scheme banany ke permission kesay de. CDA per question mark hy
