CDA Crackdown Targets Illegal Housing Societies in Islamabad

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has launched a rigorous operation against illicit housing societies in Zone-4 of the federal capital, resulting in the closure of administrative offices of the unauthorized housing scheme, Rawal Enclave.

The action against Rawal Enclave was prompted by its illegal practices of purchasing and selling plots in violation of the Capital Development Authority Ordinance 1960, ICT Zoning Regulation 1992, and ICT Building Control Regulation 2020.

The CDA has repeatedly cautioned the public through newspaper advertisements against investing in illegal housing schemes and urged them to verify whether the society’s sponsor has obtained a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the CDA after meeting the required conditions. Citizens can verify the current status of housing societies and approved layout plans on the CDA website, www.cda.gov.pk.

Additionally, the Capital Development Authority administration is advised to take legal action, including provisions under CDA Ordinance MLR 63, MLR 82, Environmental Protection 2008, and Landscape Ordinance 5/4, against the owners of illegal housing societies.


  • We live in an abnormal country where hardly anything is in order.
    Why can’t they make and implement laws whereby a housing society should not be able to commence its work till all lawful formalities have been completed. The authorities act when plots have already been sold and even houses constructed. This is deliberately done to promote corruption.

    • Idiot ho tum bohat bary.. iss main excellent wali konsi baat hai chutyie..? CDA waley haram khor khud sab kuch karny dety hain phir developer sab sell kar chuka hota hai aur end pe saza milti hai aam insan ko jis ne apni sari zindagi ki jama punji invest ki hoti hai. Operation to hona chahyie cda ke un logon ke khilaf jo karoron rishwat kha ke bhi apni jobs kar rahy hoty hai.. aur ghar tora jata hai aik be gunah insan ka.
