Grand Operation Launched Against 5 Illegal Housing Societies in Rawalpindi

In collaboration with the district administration and police, a joint task force of the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) launched action against five unauthorized housing schemes on Thursday.

The action was taken against the following housing schemes:

  • Green Hawks (Hartus Floare Farm)
  • Sighu Farm House on Chontra to Chak Beli Khan Road
  • Al Khan Enclave
  • Aurora Housing Scheme
  • Wah Residencia in Taxila

During the grand operation, the authority demolished site offices, road infrastructure, electric poles, billboards, and a security room. The task force has been conducting action against unauthorized housing schemes upon the directives of the Divisional Intelligence Committee.

According to RDA Director General Saif Anwar Jappa, extensive operations against all illegal societies will continue comprehensively and without discrimination, in accordance with the orders of Commissioner Rawalpindi.

He added that complaints were lodged by the general public concerning the unlawful possession of land by owners of illegal housing schemes. He warned of strict action against those illegally occupying lands.

Additionally, the director advised public to invest in the RDA approved housing schemes only. Moreover, notices were issued to the owners and sponsors of the five illegal housing schemes before the operation took place.


  • Why the concerned authorities take notice right at the beginning of their infrastructure building. If they demolish their buildings and roads , that’s good as a punishment. But the money and resources used in building of their infrastructure somehow belonged to someone in pakistan. Why authorities wait for the waste of money and then use their own resources to demolish their buildings. Government money is thus used to demolish these unauthorised buildings. When shall we wake up. Really frustrating

    • In Pakistan, traders are allowed to smuggle items inside the country. Once those items are into market, customs authorities reach there and recover smuggled material. Hypocrisy at its best.

      • This is not hypocritical This is intentional because they take money when allowed from borders and then again when they sell in a market and then again when they seize these goods and release them

        It’s all about corruption and monies

  • DG RDA, has taken serious action against illegal housing societies,but it is also mentioned that these societies already grabbing huje amount from citizens as down payments as well as pre launching schemes.For example Rabia Residency Chakri Rd, were looted by showing NOC from RDA,when large number of people got their files as down payment,NOC was cancelled or what so ever. Now they are not refunding nor any action in this regard has taken against them. It is humbly request in yr honour to look into and help to resolve issue.As I am Retd Govt Emp and purchase files.thanks

  • Totally agree with Mujahid.DG RDA kahan they jub ye Societies announce ho rahi theen or infrastructure build ho raha tha.Asal mey tou us waqt k RDA staff ko punish kerna chahiye.Safaid posh gharib aesay hi pista raheyga.

  • The action must be taken before the start of something illegal in an area. Where do these government officials and institutions sleep when such builders advertise their projects? When all the common ppl put their hard earned money in these projects then these officials come. It seems they dont take notice in order to impose law but to get their share in these illegal housing schemes.

    • Absolutely correct I think the people s should sue RDA officer to get their money
      Because with out their involvement nothing can be done

  • Why RDA not taking action on G16 Interior Ministry MIECHS. My father bought the plot in 1997 in G16/2 plot 2237 but till now we haven’t received any thing accept a piece of paper. Even MIECHS haven’t bought the land of G16/2 and G16/1 yet they took development charges too.

  • It’s mean the owner of these five societies are not powerful thats why these societies are demolished .or fund were not offer to
    ………. Servents.

  • Why in first place these illegal housing colonies were allowed to do business? What will happen to poor public investors? Is their any forum from where investors before making investments in properties can get verification from creditable institution? So they have the satisfaction that their investments are safe.

  • Allottees ko saza kion di ja rahi hy sub se pehly to un departments k officers ko latkaya jai jo start main kuty ki hadi kha k khamosh rehty hain baad main Allottees ko barbad kar dety hain builders b faida le jata hy and department k kuty b faida utha jaty hain

  • Unless a stern action against Government office bearers is not taken, this land mafia and construction Dons will continue flouting with rules and regulations. Building Control Authorities in every city of the country are directly involved in spreading encroachment havoc all over. Karachi is the worst example where many housing socities have built while industrial / commercial lands also occupied illegally. Such criminal activities can only be carried out with patronage of Government Agencies.

  • This is the best joke I’ve heard. Launching and building a society or its infrastructure doesn’t take a day or a week and it’s not possible to do any work at this scale without any approval from RDA. That simply means RDA is whole heartedly involved in this whole process of looting the public. Ultimately general public lose all their hard earned money all the crook society owners and RDA walks away with 100’s of millions of public money. Another sad story for people to read and no one does or cares about anything as there is no law to protect poor people in this country. Pakistan Zindabad.

  • Main culprits in all these scams r the one who allow them to advertise their projects n buildup the infrastructure n face of project to attract innocents. The authorities grab huge kickbacks from them for looting the innocents hard earned money n then they disappear from the scene n new incumbent take actions against the projects for their interest without considering those innocents who had have wasted their everything

  • DHA also just include the area and start with their society , nam nehad authorities bana le hue hn aur Govt ke tamam machniries aik aik plot ly kr khamosh bathay rahty hn. koi pochnay wala be nhi

  • Government should make public the map of multiple jurisdictions so that public can understand what areas should be utilized for the construction of a society. That’s utter madness and a stupid technique to grab a developed land at the expense of innocent public. These lands will most probably be used to establish new government offices and assets which is completely insane.
