The Capital Development Authority (CDA) along with the authorities, has sealed over 117 car dealerships in Islamabad over parking cars illegally in public parking spaces.
In his recent tweet, CDA chairman Noor-ul-Amin Mengal said that the department has canceled the lease of car dealerships for not vacating the parking as per government orders issued a few months ago.

In April 2023, CDA ordered car dealers to move their showrooms out of the urban areas. The presence of vehicle showrooms in G-8 Markaz, Blue Area, and other parts of Islamabad disrupts the movement of pedestrians and traffic, as well as other business activities in the federal capital’s busy areas.
The showroom vehicles also occupied parking spots, leaving no room for people to park their cars and bikes. “As such, these businesses are being run illegally,” a CDA official told the media.
After three months, the civic agency finally initiated the operation against car dealerships. Following this operation, traffic and parking facilities will likely get better in the commercial areas of the federal capital.
Sir, due to the Operation in G-8 Markaz,the dealers have illegally parked the Vehicle at the end of Gali No 2, near Tandoori Restaurant. Please do something.
encroachment in G7 markaz Dar.E.Arqam school building by the small hotel is horrible authority is now failed in g7 markaz

Sir. Please do something for the small hotels. They have also encroachments on verandas and public parking. Different Tea shops have same model. A small shop and a huge CDA parking for chairs. Please review this situation too.
Yes zahid request is correct and genuine
Good liability owned
Action is g-9 markaz is highly recommended.
Good step.
Rediculaslily they engaged above half of road
They should be delt with iron hands as they create fuss creation engage half of roads, Streets even footpath walking areas
Please also take action in G-11 Markaz against car dealers and restaurants who illegally occupied footpaths and public car parking areas.
One of the rare positive news in an otherwise gloomy environment. It is hoped that the CDA will take a firm stand over this development and will not get pressurised by the used car dealers mafia. Encroachments in this country are a huge problem but as there is no implementation of the law, the man in the street continues to suffer. These car dealers must shift their show rooms and vehicles to the vicinity of the capital in open spaces and let the citizens live in peace. Other encroachments, which hinder pedestrians’ movement on footpaths should too be removed with an iron hand.
Bold brave step, the Chairman deserves encouragement and appreciation.
There are many hospitals and medical centres in markaz G-8 but I am sorry to say with the cooperation of CDA officials all the parking space even roads are occupied by Car Dealers. Might is right in Pakistan. Now it is a drama , I am sure after no before one month the same will be again happened.
Great step taken by Chairman CDA, would you like to take action in G 1 Markaz please. Here Auto Mafia has occupied about 70% of the parking area. Regards
G 11 Markaz
Good job done chairman CDA. Action against encroachments was long over due. Needs guts to do this..

We are waiting for the same action at G-9, Matkaz please.
Excellent job. We are waiting for the same action in G 11 markaz
